Luke Dashjr Private Key Leak

·Historical incident record

Incident Overview

Luke Dashjr, one of the original Bitcoin Core developers, claimed on Twitter that attackers had managed to compromise multiple wallets, with more than 216 BTC (approximately $3.6 million) stolen. Dashjr initially blamed the attack on a leaked PGP key, but later said the PGP leak was just part of a broader hack in which the attacker also bypassed two-factor authentication and gained access to his wallet.
