Nearly 20 million dollars in XRP have been siphoned from 6,678 hardware wallets in six waves, between September 15 and 20, and DCENT is still looking into how the keys were exposed.
A hardware wallet never guarantees inviolability—only an offline signature, and this wave of thefts proves it in the worst possible way. The market is taking it in stride as well: BTC is down 2.74% to 83 597 $ and ETH is down 2.56% to $2,668, with caution prevailing.
If even cold keys bleed, what’s left of the famous 'not your keys, not your coins'? Tell me: did you just verify your firmware, or do you think this only happens to other people?
