😱🫨 Lost Password of Million-Dollar Bitcoin Wallet Found After 10 Years 💥😱💲💲
The lost password for a wallet containing 43.6 #BTC, purchased in 2013 and worth about $3 million at today's prices, was found years later. The password was uncovered by two hackers who specialize in this field.
Michael, whose identity was kept secret, set up his wallet in 2013 and used RoboForm to create a password. Due to security concerns, he did not store the password in RoboForm but kept it in an encrypted file. When the file became corrupted, he lost access to the 20-character password and the 43.6 btcin the wallet.
According to a video released on YouTube, Michael contacted a hacker named Joe Grand in 2022 for help. Grand, known for recovering lost Bitcoins from Trezor wallets, began working with a friend named Bruno to crack RoboForm's software.
They discovered a vulnerability in the password generator, which allowed them to deduce that the password was set according to a specific date and time on the computer where it was created. Although RoboForm patched this vulnerability in 2015, passwords created earlier could still be accessed this way.
The hackers found that Bitcoins were transferred to the wallet on April 13, 2013, and tried numerous passwords until they found the correct one.
#Bitcoin will hold until it reaches $100,000
Grand and Bruno, who successfully opened the wallet, took part of Michael's Bitcoins. Michael, who also sold some for himself, still owns $2 million worth of Bitcoin.
