🚨 Bitfinex thwarts XRP Ledger exploit attempt! 🚨
- On Monday, a failed exploit attempt targeted crypto exchange Bitfinex using an XRP Ledger feature
- Nearly $15 billion worth of XRP appeared to be moved, but the actual transfer was just a few cents
- The motive was likely to trick Bitfinex into taking the transfer as real, potentially leading to a hack
- Bitfinex's systems flagged the transfers as a "partial payment" and prevented the attack
- Security risks remain a major concern in the crypto market, with nearly $2 billion lost to scams and hacks in 2023
