Binance took action to freeze
$4.2 million worth of XRP believed to be associated with the $112 million
Ripple hack. This marks the largest cryptocurrency hack of 2024 thus far,
stirring concerns within the digital asset community.
Binance CEO Richard Teng
confirmed the freeze through a post on the social media platform X, where he
acknowledged the efforts of on-chain investigator ZachXBT and the Ripple team
for their collaboration in identifying the exploited address. The move was part
of a broader effort to mitigate the fallout from the hack.
Thomas Silkjær, head of analytics
and compliance at the XRP Ledger Foundation, claimed credit for the
foundation’s early investigation into the issue, adding a layer of complexity
to the attribution of efforts.
Initial speculation surrounding
the hack suggested that Ripple itself had been compromised. However, Ripple
co-founder Chris Larsen clarified that it was his personal accounts, not the
company, that were targeted. Larsen assured the public that Ripple’s systems
remained secure despite the breach.
Ieri, a existat acces neautorizat la câteva dintre conturile mele personale XRP (nu @Clipoci) – am reușit să detectăm rapid problema și să anunțăm schimburile pentru a îngheța adresele afectate. Oamenii legii sunt deja implicați. https://t.co/T3HtKSlzLg

The hacker behind the exploit
notably avoided using crypto mixer services or decentralized exchanges to
obscure their identity. This departure from recent trends raised eyebrows
within the cryptocurrency community, indicating potential shifts in tactics among
malicious actors.
După ce am aflat devreme despre exploitul care a avut loc la @Clipoci, suntem bucuroși să spunem că #Binance echipa a reușit să înghețe 4.2 milioane de dolari $ XRP furat de exploatator.
Apreciem eforturile ambelor comunități de a-l trimite la schimburi – ca întotdeauna @zachxbt...

Freezing Funds and Collaborating with Law Enforcement
ZachXBT disclosed that the
exploited account was initially attributed to Ripple in XRP block explorers,
sparking confusion regarding the nature of the hack. Meanwhile, Larsen
confirmed that approximately 213 million XRP, valued at $112.5 million, had been
stolen from his personal accounts.
In response, Ripple has engaged
in discussions with various crypto exchanges to freeze the exploited funds and
has notified law enforcement agencies to aid in the investigation.
The perpetrators attempted to
launder the stolen XRP through multiple exchanges, including MEXC, Gate,
Binance, Kraken, OKX, HTX, and HitBTC. While Binance a luat
measures to freeze some of the stolen funds, other exchanges such as extensia OKX și
Kraken have yet to disclose their actions regarding the hack.
Fraudulent “Binance Mystery Box” Lottery SMS
Mai devreme, Binance
customers received SMS messages encouraging them to participate in a new
lottery offering up to 100 EUR in cryptocurrencies, known as the ‘Binance
Mystery Box,’ as reported by finanțe
Magnati. Despite appearing in threads with official announcements, these
texts were fraudulent and aimed to steal account information.
The scam primarily targeted
Binance users in Poland, with confirmed reports of phishing attempts. Binance
acknowledged the issue but stated that eliminating fake SMS messages would
require extensive modifications to GSM technology, which they deemed unrealistic.
While some users speculated about a potential data leak, Binance denied any
such breach. Although not prevalent in Poland, the scam is commonly observed in
alte țări.
