Ripple CTO David Schwartz exposes fake XRP airdrop scam, halting phishing attack on users.

Ripple's CTO Emeritus David Schwartz personally intervened on social media to expose a fake XRP airdrop scam involving impersonation of the Xaman wallet. His direct action led to rapid user reports and suspension of fraudulent accounts, preventing potential losses. This incident highlights ongoing phishing threats in the XRP ecosystem, where scammers use deceptive NFT offers to drain wallets. The fight against such scams relies heavily on community vigilance and swift responses from key figures like Schwartz.

Following the alert on a fake XRP airdrop scam, XRP continues to show resilience on Pluang. As of Sep 18, 2026 16:41 WIB, XRP trades at Rp23.649 with a positive 1-day change of 1.97%.
