As far as I remember it has been discussed here before, I just can't find the link. You could guess and open a wallet BUT without a balance. If you're thinking about, someone might guess your key or you could open a wallet with a balance, just don't bother as it is unlikely to happen (it won't be easy). For more accurate and detailed information, visit this blog of MEW here : Couldn't everybody put in random private keys, look for a balance, and send to their own address?
PS. I think the thread belongs to Service Discussion (Altcoins)
Topic: I could randomly access a mew wallet (Read 204 times)
After the windows update it seemed some of my files were gone (they werent). Thought i had it backed up. Seemed i didnt on a usb yet. I did backed up the keyfile though. Then i typed my pk from paper. But apparently it wasnt correct. However i did unlock a wallet which wasnt mine and empty....
Is it possible to randomly guess private keys??
