Hacker drains 2 million XRP from D'CENT wallets in two hours

  • 2,009,321 XRP stolen from 1,552 wallets in 2 hours 5 minutes
  • The attack came in two waves: first 204 wallets, then 1,336
  • The order of the hack matched wallet creation dates (correlation 0.65)
  • Some funds were withdrawn via Binance and the Bridgers bridge
Why it matters: The attack on a popular Asian wallet highlights the risk of private key compromise and weighs on trust in software wallets.
