Unidentified people stole over 200 BTC from a Bitcoin Core developer
Bitcoin Core developer Luke Dash Jr. reported that his PGP key was compromised and a large amount of the first cryptocurrency was lost.
Dash Jr. did not specify the amount of damage. In the thread, he shared a wallet address allegedly linked to the hack — at the time of writing, it contains 216.9 BTC (more than $3.6 million at the current exchange rate). Four transactions completed on December 31, 2022.
The head of Binance, Changpeng Zhao, reacted to the incident. He stated that he informed the security service of the exchange about the need for monitoring.
