š Researchers āHack Timeā to Recover $3 Million Bitcoin Wallet! š°
š A crypto wallet locked since 2013 has finally been unlocked! Security experts cracked the password and recovered over $3 million in Bitcoin.
1ļøā£ Electrical engineer Joe Grand, aka āKingpinā, was hired to unlock an encrypted file with 43.6 BTC, held since 2013.
2ļøā£ The walletās password was generated by RoboForm, but was lost when the computerās encrypted part became corrupted.
3ļøā£ With Bitcoinās value skyrocketing, the owner sought help from Grand.
š Initially hesitant, Grand agreed to take on the challenge. Using a reverse engineering tool from the NSA, he disassembled RoboFormās code.
š” Grand discovered that the older version of RoboForm wasnāt truly random. By tricking the system into thinking it was 2013, he recreated the exact password.
š¤ Working with his colleague Bruno, they generated millions of potential passwords and finally cracked it!
š Note: This method only works for passwords created with RoboForm before 2015.
