“Instead of cracking Bitcoin encryption, Claude reportedly helped sort through old wallet files and recovery information. During the search, the AI identified an older wallet.dat file that appeared to exist before the password change happened.”
“The user also had access to an old mnemonic recovery phrase. That combination reportedly allowed the wallet to open without bypassing any security protections.”
Those are key factors needed to make that happen. Not sure how I feel about Claude having this kind of access though 😮💨
