Legendary hacker Joe Grand, also known as Kingpin, recently recovered $3 million from a lost $BTC Bitcoin software wallet. Michael, a German user, had purchased bitcoins in 2013 and stored the password using #RoboForm , a password generator. Unfortunately, the password file became corrupted, leaving him unable to access his growing wealth.
In 2020, Michael sought help from Joe Grand, who initially declined, citing the immense difficulty of cracking the complex password. But with persistence, Grand and his colleague Bruno revisited the case. They found a loophole in an older version of Roboform, realizing that passwords generated before 2015 were not truly random.
Using āhacking time,ā they manipulated Roboformās randomness based on the date the password was created. After testing millions of combinations, they eventually managed to recover $1.6 million worth of Bitcoin passwords. Michaelās value would double by mid-2024.
