šŸš€ Researchers ā€˜Hack Timeā€™ to Recover $3 Million Bitcoin Wallet! šŸ’°

šŸ”’ A crypto wallet locked since 2013 has finally been unlocked! Security experts cracked the password and recovered over $3 million in Bitcoin.

1ļøāƒ£ Electrical engineer Joe Grand, aka ā€˜Kingpinā€™, was hired to unlock an encrypted file with 43.6 BTC, held since 2013.

2ļøāƒ£ The walletā€™s password was generated by RoboForm, but was lost when the computerā€™s encrypted part became corrupted.

3ļøāƒ£ With Bitcoinā€™s value skyrocketing, the owner sought help from Grand.

šŸ” Initially hesitant, Grand agreed to take on the challenge. Using a reverse engineering tool from the NSA, he disassembled RoboFormā€™s code.

šŸ’” Grand discovered that the older version of RoboForm wasnā€™t truly random. By tricking the system into thinking it was 2013, he recreated the exact password.

šŸ¤ Working with his colleague Bruno, they generated millions of potential passwords and finally cracked it!

šŸ“… Note: This method only works for passwords created with RoboForm before 2015.
