He should track and contact the exchanges asking them to freeze the funds incase the hacker tries to deposit in any of the top ones to convert the coins into stables.

That is good. CZ from Binance has already replied to his tweet:

Anyway, if it were a prank, why would anyone hack his Twitter account, and post a BTC address containing 200+ BTC received recently with no transactions ever sent?

In the absence of a revocation cert for the allegedly compromised PGP key, my money's on his Twitter account being hacked and posting FUD. Does Twitter even still have a security team after Ol' Musky's latest round of firings?

Nope, none to speak of Twitter is mostly on autopilot at this point.

But until we here more directly from him I would think it's his Twitter account that has been hacked.
His account logged in here last on Christmas eve. (My time)
But no posts for months.

And unless he was doing something odd, his PGP keys have nothing to do with his BTC.

I'm also guessing that he could at least pick up the phone and call someone to make a post / comment here if he could not log in for some reason.

he has already tagged FBI on Twitter. Hopefully he will recover his coins!

FBI wouldn't even read his tweets, they are slow and of no use. He should track and contact the exchanges asking them to freeze the funds incase the hacker tries to deposit in any of the top ones to convert the coins into stables.

I wish he provided more details as to what exactly happened.

After loosing everything, a normal human wouldn't be in the state of explaining things for quite sometime. Lets give his mind sometime to accept the fact, although we know its his own mistake somewhere Sad

He has since released an update saying everything's gone. PGP and cold wallet compromised. That's hundreds of Bitcoin stolen.

I wish he provided more details as to what exactly happened. I hope he'll get back and provide more facts. People are now asking questions, speculating on what might have happened.

I'm looking forward to hearing the two cents of experts here. There will be many lessons to learn from this unfortunate incident involving no less than a Bitcoin developer himself who is fully aware of all the necessary security measures.

These are terrible news. Was his PGP hacked and the keys found there? Weren't his keys stored offline? I think it's better to rely on a good and old notebook than on any digital devices...

I hope he can track the hacker's addresses and reach authorities faster as possible to get them before the coins are mixed and disappear forever. As I see, he has already tagged FBI on Twitter. Hopefully he will recover his coins!

It appears more than $3 million in bitcoin was stolen. This is very sad to see and I reckon some people should not make fun of this similar to those imbeciles who are replying in this thread in Twitter.

PSA: My PGP key is compromised, and at least many of my bitcoins stolen. I have no idea how. Help please.
