Hackers tried unsuccessfully to exploit $15 billion in XRP for a “partial payment vulnerability” attack / Code farmer’s eyesight guide

According to Cointelegraph, Bitfinex CTO Paolo Ardoino said that on January 14, a transaction worth nearly $15 billion, or 25.6 billion XRP, from an unknown wallet to Bitfinex did not go through, and that the transaction was a “partial payment loophole.” In an attempt at the Bitfinex attack, the would-be attackers expected that the exchange had misconfigured its software to process some payments. Bitfinex successfully thwarted the attack because its system correctly handled the “delivered_amount” data column for the transaction. (PANews report)

There are many field parameters in normal transactions, and if the mechanism for confirming the fields is not rigorous, the above-mentioned method of paying a smaller amount of money will be used to evade the review in order to obtain a higher credit balance. This is also considered a transaction anomaly attack, if Bitfinex does not check the transaction code logic and does not confirm the “delivered_amount” parameters, it will suffer losses. Therefore, at this time, the Secorion device is responsible for hunting down abnormal transactions on the network and recording them on SDChain, so that if an incident still occurs, it is easier to be held accountable or obtain compensation.
