An attempted exploit on Bitfinex involving over half of XRP's circulating supply, valued at nearly $15 billion, failed. The attack utilized XRP's payment functions but was thwarted by Bitfinex's handling of the 'delivered_amount' data field. The attempt was confirmed by Whale Alert and involved 25.6 billion XRP. Bitfinex successfully blocked the attack, which was described as a 'Partial Payments Exploit' by Paolo Ardoino. The failed hack was also covered in Rise'n'Crypto's latest episode featuring rkbaggs.
