D'CENT Wallet Hack Spreads Beyond XRP to Bitcoin and Ethereum

The D'CENT wallet hack, the year's second-largest XRP drain behind the Bitget exchange hack, has spread beyond the XRP Ledger to Bitcoin, Ethereum and Stellar. Hackers drained more than 12.4 million XRP from over 7,000 D'CENT wallets using a single compromised recovery phrase for the multi-chain wallet, with IoTrust confirming at least 110 abnormal transfer reports including non-XRP assets. Six waves of theft between Sept. 15-20 emptied 6,678 wallets of 11.7 million XRP, with thieves stealing from large wallets first before scripting attacks on smaller ones; by Friday, 6.3 million of the stolen XRP had crossed to Ethereum via THORChain.
