Looks like it, unauthorised access is a bit of a vague term but it looks like whoever hosts their cloud platform got breached.

If the executives want to keep being stupid, I guess the FBI could just as well head over to the DBA's house and pistol whip him until he opens up his laptop, logs into the VPN and unlocks his ssh key to hand over backups to get a nice list of every parler user's contact/identity.

Justify it later that it was a matter of national security to stop an imminent terrorist attack.

maybe dont enable a fascist police state just because they are currently fighting other fascists. thanks.

quote:

Thomas is a San Francisco-based computer programmer, and a decade ago he was given 7,002 bitcoins as a reward for making a video explaining how the cryptocurrency works.

At the time he was paid, they were worth $2-$6 each. He stashed them away in his “digital wallet” and forgot about them.

Now each bitcoin is worth $34,000, and the contents of his wallet are valued at $240m. But Thomas has forgotten the password that will unlock his fortune.


oh my god

quote:

Thomas said he has tried his eight most frequently used passwords to access his IronKey hard drive, but all turned out to be wrong. The device auto-encrypts all contents after the 10th inaccurate guess.

OH MY GOD

quote:

Following the publicity of Thomas’s plight, Alex Stamos, an internet security expert at Stanford Internet Observatory, said he could crack the password within six months if Thomas gave him a 10% cut of the digital fortune.

Suddenly dropping about 7k Bitcoin on the market would cause a drop. Which then might inspire a bit of a panic sell off. Now most people know not to flood a market like that to avoid that situation but on the other hand this is Bitcoin.

This gets done with Bitcoin fairly often. people will intentionally dump a load of coins, crash the market and buy a load again when it's at it's dip

I remember stories of people crawling around landfills looking for their old hard drive with Bitcoin on it. tbh a friend of mine told me about Bitcoin back in 2010 and I said it sounded like the stupidest poo poo I ever heard of but he had a fuckload of them and cashed out so I guess it is I who am the dummy

Pizza place probably long converted it to actual money. Likely almost immediately after receiving payment.

It's me, I'm the secfuck.
I have a couple hundred bitcoins stored in a GBDE encrypted file, and I forgot the password for it too.

To quote the creator: "At least O(2^128) work per sector" -- phk, 2004, in the pdf of the presentation of GBDE.
So I'm not going to wait until after the universe is the same temperature as the cosmic background radiation in order to crack it.

In case you want a chance of the money, here's the pdf of the paper.
Personally, I've just given up.

I have a friend with possibly millions in bitcoins in an encrypted drive, it’s in a hidden volume and maybe nested file systems, it’s old and janky and he doesn’t remember how it was setup but at least it won’t self destruct

anyways it’s real funny because one of the only benefits of cryptocurrency is that you can make infinite copies of your private key
