Ripple Co-founder’s $150M XRP Heist Related to LastPass Hack: ZachXBT

A $150 million XRP theft from Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen has been linked to the 2022 LastPass hack, where attackers gained access to private keys stored in the password manager. A U.S. law enforcement complaint confirmed the connection, with on-chain analyst ZachXBT tracing the stolen funds. Larsen emphasized that the breach affected only his personal accounts, not Ripple’s corporate assets. The incident highlights ongoing security risks for crypto holders using password managers.
