Ripple Security Breach Sparks Criticism from Peter Todd

A security breach in Ripple’s Node Package Manager (NPM) library has exposed wallets to potential theft. While the company quickly addressed the issue, security expert Peter Todd criticized Ripple for its lack of software verification practices, highlighting a decade-old concern about hidden backdoors. Todd previously warned about this vulnerability in 2013, noting that failing to verify software with PGP signatures could leave crypto assets vulnerable.
