🔍 How? By placing offers across hundreds of accounts and filling them all in a single payment, the seller would receive the full amount of XRP while the buyer paid almost nothing. (kucoin)

✅ Good news: No evidence of exploitation was found, and there were no fund losses or private key compromises. Researchers Cayden Liao and Veria AI reported the bug through the bug bounty program on September 22. (XRP Ledger Found a Bug That Could Create XRP +2)
📌 Node operators should upgrade to 3.4.1 or later.
