A 46 btc recovery from 2013 by finding a password that was fortunately not very safe.

Obviously well worth his time with his skills.

This guy (Joe Grand) makes very cool videos. Apart from being a great hacker, he can explain so everyone can understand.

Great story. Questions: What was Joe and Bruno's commission? Does he get paid if they are not successful? Really great business model.

reply

Yes. They did not mention the reward, or fee, but obviously must be huge, say 10%, depending on the outcome. I mean I would pay 10% to get 90%, instead of nothing.

What was the password, for those who didn't watch?

reply

In the video the last part is blurred.

That said, this might be just a similar-looking password they made for illustration purposes.

So keep your passwords... not safe????

reply

Yeah, kind of. Bad passwords are everywhere.
