Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen's $150 million hack was caused by LastPass flaw
A forfeiture complaint revealed by blockchain detective ZachXBT has confirmed that the $150 million hack of which Chris Larsen, co-founder of Ripple, was the result of the theft of private keys stored in the password manager LastPass, which was compromised in 2022.
The complaint details how the attackers accessed Larsen's cryptocurrency wallets through vault data stolen from LastPass.
In December 2022, LastPass suffered two major data breaches, one in August and one in November, which resulted in the theft of encrypted passwords and vault data.
According to the complaint, Larsen — known as Victim 2 — stored private keys in the LastPass password vault, which also contained secure notes, banking information, and other credentials.
According to Larsen, he destroyed any physical record of the private keys after entering them into the password vault. A long, unique password granted access to the online password manager, and the devices remained registered for up to 30 days.
At least four devices had access to the account containing the private keys, and only Larsen's family members knew the passcode to any of these devices.
The FBI has been investigating the LastPass breach, and law enforcement officials working on Larsen's case have spoken with FBI agents about the stolen data.
The investigation suggests that the attackers used the data from the compromised vault to gain unauthorized access to several victims' cryptocurrency accounts, e-mail accounts, and other sensitive information.
Larsen first disclosed the hack on January 31, 2024, stating that unauthorized access had been detected in several of his personal wallets.
