Avg attacker reconnaissance time for peer-class protocols
Aave v3's assessment for RD-F-163 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Peer-class reconnaissance time is high: Lazarus / DPRK operations (USPD pattern) typically involve 60-90 day reconnaissance windows before strike. Chainalysis and security analysts have documented pre-strike preparation activity for the April 18 attack. This is a historical standing risk indicator for the lending protocol class, not a current alert (reconnaissance completed for the April 18 attack). Yellow as forward-looking risk assessment.
