Please change the thread title as this is FUD and misleading. Researcher have found a way to crack brain wallets with weak pass phrases. What an amazing revelation. Roll Eyes You can compare this to the people who are using "123456" as a password for their accounts. Bitcoin private keys are not hackable at this date. The article is misleading, such a shame.


Keep in mind that the main Bitcoin implementation, Bitcoin Core does not have these kinds of wallets.

I am not an expert of encryption, so I do not fully understand the following article. However, it seems very interesting that some researchers demonstrated a way of hacking BTC private keys in a security conference in Las Vegas, US.

Any opinion on this? If it is true, the bitcoin price would plummet soon.
