The xrpld 3.3.0 release is expected next week with five proposed amendments, including two revised features that were previously withdrawn after researchers found bugs that could have allowed unauthorized transactions or fee draining.
Galaxy Research said weak seed generation let an attacker recreate likely private keys offline, sweep more than 1,000 BTC from nearly 1,200 wallets and continue searching without ever accessing the devices.
A hardware wallet randomness bug turned “impossible to guess” seeds into guessable ones, and $38 million is already gone.
