#Who is Joe Grand?
A hacker managed to open a bitcoin wallet that had been locked for 11 years.
The hack was carried out by an electrical technician named Joe Grand or known as Kingpin on the internet. He was asked for help by the owner of a wallet containing 43.6 BTC.
The owner of the wallet had difficulty opening his wallet, because he protected it very well using a random password generator called Roboform.
Grand agreed to help him. There were many other people who had the same request but were rejected.
I created a password, copied it, entered it in the wallet passphrase and in a text file that I encrypted,"
He used a tool developed by the United States National Security Agency to crack the generator code.
In his explanation, the Roboform used by the owner was different from other password makers. Because it does not create unique and random passwords.
"Although the RoboForm password looks random, it actually isn't. With the older version of the software, we could control the time and we could control the password," Grand explained.
