Deep Tide TechFlow message: On September 26, according to CoinDesk, the cryptocurrency exchange Bitget has recently been subjected to a severe hacker attack, resulting in the theft of XRP worth up to $83 million. On-chain data analysis shows that the hackers acted quickly after the incident, completing large-amount cross-address transfers. Bitget has currently confirmed this major security incident and is cooperating with the police in an investigation.

Regarding how to recover the damaged assets, Ripple has provided a clear technical response. Ripple emphasized that, due to the decentralized architecture of its underlying public blockchain, even if law enforcement agencies get involved, the company is completely unable to implement a forced-freeze function targeting specific external accounts. At present, the core task of getting back the stolen funds remains the responsibility of Bitget and its hired security team.
