It appears the hacker has obtained control of the email account [email protected], the same email address cited atop the original white paper published by the bitcoin founder in August 2008. Messages from this address have been posted to various online forums and reportedly sent to people in the past 24 hours with content written in a style inconsistent with the founder’s previous public statements. In one of those messages, including one to a Pastebin forum, the poster is promising to release details of the real Nakamoto’s identity if he is paid 25 bitcoins–valued at about $11,700 at current prices.
