Incident Overview
The attacker abused a flaw in the deposit-verification/relayer logic by creating fake deposits (self-transfers of the bridge’s own wrapped tokens with valid memos), tricking the relayers into authorizing real XRP withdrawals from the bridge’s reserve. Nearly 200,000 XRP (~$200,000) was drained in 94 multisig transactions over 97 minutes.
