An XRP bridge was drained because it believed deposits that never happened An attacker exploited deposit-detection logic on the bridge linking the $XRP Ledger to the tx chain, minting bridged XRP against transactions that delivered nothing, then swapping it back for real XRP. Roughly 200,000 went out across 94 payments. Every payment was correctly signed by 17 of 28 relayers. The bridge's own records said the deposits were real. @Ripple's ledger was never compromised, and @txEcosystem says bridged XRP on its chain is no longer fully backed.
