#黑客从DCENT钱包盗取超1240万枚XRP Incident: A key-leak attack hit the D'CENT App wallet. Between 9/15 and 9/25 (ten days), 12.4 million XRP were stolen from 7,393 wallets. The affected wallets are those running the app versions before 8.1.0; the hardware wallet itself is secure (there is no risk if the recovery phrase is not imported into the app). About 6.3 million XRP of the stolen funds have been laundered via THORChain cross-chain transfer and moved to a CEX.
Positive: The vulnerability is limited to the old version of the app. The XRP ledger itself has no security flaws; it is not a Ripple protocol vulnerability. The official has already pushed a new version, and the risk is controllable after users migrate their assets.
Negative: It has triggered short-term market panic, and XRP faces selling pressure. It also exposes weaknesses in mobile wallet key management, undermining confidence in self-custody. The hacker still has some proceeds not yet transferred out, so there remains a risk of further dumping.
Outlook: This incident is a wallet-side security issue, not a problem with XRP’s underlying layer. The impact is likely more short-term. XRP’s main trend continues to follow the broader crypto market; focus on observing sell-off behavior after the stolen funds are transferred to exchanges.
