A 23-year-old woman from Sydney, Australia, has been arrested over the alleged theft of cryptocurrency worth over $300,000 at the time.
The unnamed woman is said to have stolen 100,000 XRP in January from a wallet owned by a 56-year-old man, according to a report by ZDNet Wednesday. She was arrested by police following a raid at her home after a 10-month long investigation.
Following the hacking of his email account, the victim had reportedly become locked out of his crypto wallet for two days. When he managed to regain access, he found the XRP was gone.
