Ripple的一位关键高管，这位把持着XRP账本的公司的幕后推手，可能因内鬼作祟，他的个人加密钱包被黑了。

A Feb. 7 report by blockchain analytics platform Hacken claims that the hacker who stole $112.5 million worth of XRP (XRP) from Ripple co-founder and chairman Chris Larsen's personal wallets on Jan. 31 also had a backyard link to a wallet account Ripple might have been in charge of.

尽管这样，区块链审计公司并未贸然断定这是Ripple员工的所作所为，只是说“结论还为时过早”。然而，该公司声称，“与XRP授权钱包相连接的两个钱包在攻击中扮演了关键角色”。

On Jan. 31, Larsen alleged that some of his personal wallets had been breached, costing him 213 million XRP, or an estimated $112.5 million at the time. The next day, Binance CEO Richard Teng disclosed that his exchange had temporarily frozen $4.2 million worth of stolen XRP.

Hacken's team alleges that the thief divided the stolen funds into eight separate wallet accounts. Of these, six wallets transferred funds to a single intermediary wallet with an address kicking off with “rHyqB,” followed by the dispatch of $70.9 million worth of XRP to another wallet address staring with “ro4ha.”

More XRP shots were eventually traded via other intermediary wallets and landed in a Binance deposit address.

Once Hacken pinpointed the cash trail, they began examining each wallet's incoming transactions. They stumbled upon a wallet address that kicked off with “rU1bPM4,” which sent $64.6 million in XRP to Larsen before and to one of the intermediary wallets deployed in the heist.

This either points to someone who handed Larsen $65 million also sending $37,500 to the crook or suggests the attacker is the same figure who made the initial donation to Larsen.

This particular wallet also sent almost $2 million to a Kraken deposit address in 2020, which Hacken alleges the attacker also deposited into, leading them to assume the Kraken account was "allegedly used as a pipeline" to channel cash from the shenanigans.

In addition, researchers assert that the “rU1bPM4” account has held a "critical tie-up with XRP, starting long before the incident," implying it might have been an "authorized wallet." Hacken stated:

The investigation into the Breach is still ongoing. Cointelegraph reached out to Ripple for comment, but we were left on hold until the article was published.
