XRP Ledger HACKED: Official NPM Package Infected with Crypto-Stealing Malware!

In this video, we break down the recent critical supply chain attack targeting the official xrpl NPM package, used by developers worldwide to interact with the XRP Ledger. What Happened? Hackers compromised a Ripple developer's NPM account and injected malware into multiple versions of the SDK. The malicious function (checkValidityOfSeed) was designed to steal private keys and exfiltrate them to an attacker-controlled domain. Key Points Covered: 🔹 How the attackers gained access 🔹 How the malware worked (technical deep dive) 🔹 Affected versions (4.2.4, 4.2.3, 4.2.2, 4.2.1, 2.14.2) 🔹 Why this could have impacted hundreds of thousands of apps and users 🔹 How Aikido Security caught the breach within hours 🔹 How cryptographic signing and signature verification could have prevented it Why It Matters: XRP is the 7th largest cryptocurrency by market cap. This breach could have had catastrophic consequences across major wallets, exchanges, and financial platforms. Takeaway: Supply chain attacks are becoming more sophisticated. Signing releases and verifying signatures at install time are no longer optional — they are critical. 👉 Stay informed, stay secure! #XRP #SupplyChainAttack #CryptoSecurity #Blockchain #NPM #Malware #Ripple #CyberSecurity #InfoSec
