DCENT urges XRP users to move assets after 9.3 million XRP stolen

  • DCENT urged App Wallet users to update the software and move assets if instructed.
  • 9.3 million XRP was stolen from 6,160 potential victim addresses, according to XRPL intel.
  • DCENT warned users not to reuse recovery phrases or rely on unofficial support channels.

DCENT has urged users of its App Wallet (software wallet) to take immediate security measures after detecting abnormal transfers and investigating potential impacts across several networks, including the XRP Ledger (XRPL). Users should update the app to version 10.0.0, run the in-app "Check if action is needed" function and follow its instructions. Before updating, they should not transact through the App Wallet; if directed, they should move assets to a wallet created with a new recovery phrase (backup words used to restore access) and never reuse the old phrase. The warning applies both to current App Wallet users and to people who have ever entered or restored a hardware-wallet recovery phrase in the App Wallet. DCENT also said it has separate support accounts on X, no official Telegram or Discord support channels, and will never request a recovery phrase, wallet key or PIN, or direct users by private message to transfer funds. XRPL intel identified 6,160 potential victim addresses and 9.3 million XRP stolen. About 2 million XRP remained in tracked wallets, while 7 million XRP had been sent to unidentified services. Two wallets collected stolen tokens issued on the XRP Ledger: one holding RLUSD and another holding multiple XRPL-issued tokens. Token issuers were urged to freeze affected trust lines, which would apply to RLUSD in this case.
