Topic: Hacker tells Bitcoin creator, 'You are not safe. Get out.' - page 2. (Read 1841 times)

his email address was broken into about 3-4 years ago. why are you digging this up now?

i think he knows a little more about security than some little 4chan prick.

"Dear Satoshi," reads the post. "Your dox, passwords and IP addresses are being sold on the darknet. Apparently you didn't configure Tor properly and your IP leaked when you used your email account sometime in 2010. You are not safe. You need to get out of where you are as soon as possible before these people harm you. Thank you for inventing Bitcoin."

He's making it look like he cares about satoshi's well being. What a nerve! It's like a thief telling you where you can get a cheap car after stealing your own.
Dear satoshi, I'm selling your dox, so run before they find you! Oh, and thanks for bitcoins sucker!

Old news. Nothing really interesting here. I don't know what's the obsession of people looking for satoshi. He left for a reason and he doesn't want to be found for maybe another reason. Then why are you all trying to find him? Also, bitcoins has flourished even without him. He maybe could not have imagine it will reach this far. Also, I remember he discussed on this very forum that he did not want a block size increase, but where are we now.

Yeah! That’s indeed ludicrous. Hackers can’t destroy anything. They can’t do any harm to bitcoins. Bitcoins security level is damn high. I don’t think so they have any fear of getting hacked by the hackers.
Fools can just talk about destroying bitcoins. Their dreams can never ever come true. 

So what kind of emails theymos sent to Satoshi in March of 2014 ? Like notice his bitcointalk account is frozen to prevent abuse in the case of hack ?

it is well know at crypto community when a cryptographer/team don't want to show his/her/their real identities and protect pseudo names is pretty much hard to find out ...

for instance .. who are Linux tails developers ?

Indeed. Here's the clue: "25 Bitcoins, about $12,000 at the going rate." 

This is old as hell. I remember reading about this years ago. I don't know what else did they hack beside the account. In fact I think it was not even a hack. The gmx account ([email protected] or [email protected] I dont remember) expired and someone else just registered it, ten claimed to have satoshi's dox.

Of course this was bullshit because satoshi was never hacked, doxed, or compromised in any way.

Thats funny, I think people will never stop their search about who is Satoshi Nakamoto.
Anyway Bitcoin is now full live currency and doesn't really matter to know who is its creator.

Someone has taken over the email account belonging to the inventor of the Bitcoin cryptocurrency, the fabled Satoshi Nakamoto. The email account is the very same one used to publish Bitcoin's original whitepaper, the document that became both its mission statement and its technical foundation.

One year ago Polygon embarked on a quest to find Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of the Bitcoin cryptocurrency. We weren't the first, nor were we the last.

Most recently, Newsweek seemed sure that they'd found Nakamoto, a quiet man hiding in plain sight just outside Los Angeles. But their story didn't stick. The man they pointed the finger at, Dorian Nakamoto, says it's not him.

"I did not create, invent or otherwise work on Bitcoin," Dorian said through an attorney. "I unconditionally deny the Newsweek report."

So, the internet went about trying to find Nakamoto the old fashioned way; by hacking into his personal email account and stealing his private information.

Wired reports that someone calling themselves "Jeffrey" has performed the hack. Inside the email account he has found information that could lead to revealing Nakamoto's true identity. To spice things up, Jeffrey says that he will release the information for 25 Bitcoins, about $12,000 at the going rate.

Wired wasn't able to determine how Jeffrey broke into Nakamoto's account, nor were they able to get much information out of him. But the email address in question had been largely dormant since 2010, when Nakamoto went underground. Monday that address was used to post a message on a cryptocurrency forum.

"Dear Satoshi," reads the post. "Your dox, passwords and IP addresses are being sold on the darknet. Apparently you didn't configure Tor properly and your IP leaked when you used your email account sometime in 2010. You are not safe. You need to get out of where you are as soon as possible before these people harm you. Thank you for inventing Bitcoin."

The only first-hand verification of the hack comes from Michael Marquardt, a member of the Bitcointalk.org forum. He sent Nakamoto some emails in March of 2014. Marquardt says that Jeffrey shared with him excerpts of those emails, and the only way he could have gotten them is from inside the encrypted account.

"I'm pretty sure," Marquardt said, "that this is just some troll in it for the laughs."
