Oh, the drama! David Schwartz, the tech wizard (aka CTO) at Ripple, couldn’t help but gush over Xaman, the XRP wallet darling, for its lightning-fast response to a supply chain attack that had the Node Package Manager (NPM) ecosystem in a tizzy. 🕷️💥
Apparently, some sneaky hacker had a field day compromising a reputable developer’s NPM account, turning innocent JavaScript packages into malware-ridden traps. 😱 And guess what? Cryptocurrency wallets like MetaMask were the prime targets, with funds being siphoned off faster than you can say “blockchain.”
“Great to see quick action from Xaman to keep users protected!” 💪✨

Meanwhile, Ledger’s CTO Charles Guillemet was busy waving red flags, urging crypto users without hardware wallets to hit pause on transactions. 🛑 “Don’t say I didn’t warn you!” he practically shouted into the void.
Xaman to the Rescue! 🦸♂️
But fear not, crypto comrades! The Xaman team sprang into action faster than a meme goes viral, conducting an audit that gave users the all-clear. 🕵️♂️✅
XRPL Labs co-founder Wietse Wind Supply chimed in, noting that these supply chain attacks are becoming “more and more common.” Shocking, right? Almost as shocking as realizing your avocado toast budget could’ve bought you a Bitcoin in 2010. 🥑💸
