The LastPass hack had been linked to at least $45 million in crypto thefts as of December 2024.
The January 2024 theft of 283 million XRP (XRP) from Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen’s personal accounts has been linked to a password manager breach, according to a forfeiture complaint filed by US law enforcement revealed by crypto investigator ZachXBT.
The investigator shared a screenshot of the forfeiture complaint in his Telegram channel on March 7, claiming the theft “was the result of storing private keys in LastPass (password manager which was hacked in 2022). Up to this point, Chris Larsen had not publicly disclosed the cause of the theft.”
