D'CENT wallet breach drains $18.7M in XRP from 6,678 wallets

  • 11.75M XRP worth $18.68M stolen from 6,678 wallets between Sept. 15 and 20
  • 4,208 wallets drained via standard payments, 2,470 via AccountDelete closures
  • 5.67M XRP moved through THORChain; 535,666 XRP sent to Binance
  • D'CENT urges migration to a new seed phrase, including for hardware wallet holders
Why it matters: A private key leak in a hardware wallet app undermines trust in self-custody tools, though some funds may still be frozen on Binance.
