The year’s second-largest XRP hack is spilling over to Bitcoin and Ethereum

What happened

Compromised keys from D’CENT crypto wallets allowed hackers to hack over $18M in XRP and reach Stellar, Ethereum, and other blockchains. The D’CENT wallet hack, the year’s second-largest drain of XRP behind the Bitget crypto exchange hack , has spilled beyond the XRP Ledger onto additional blockchains like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Stellar.

Hackers have drained more than 12.4 million XRP from more than 7,000 D’CENT wallets, still some way behind Bitget’s loss of 102.9 million XRP. Although the wallet was popular among the XRP community, D’CENT users who owned assets of other blockchains have also lost their funds.

D’CENT’s own disclosure named Bitcoin, Tron, and Ethereum, for example. Even a Stellar user has lost XLM in the incident.
