It would seem that the "Bitcoin Find and Recover" github has been deleted (removed?)... The entire "Alex-Jaeger" account seems to have disappeared from Github... so I suspect that it is indeed the culprit. My instinct is telling me that the guy managed to steal some wallets and has deleted the github before people find the exploits in the the code...

The OpenSSL binary you linked is relatively trustworthy as HI-TEC99 has thoroughly illustrated. I have used it myself without issue.

It looks like looks like racezefi has indeed got hold of some wallets Sad

Sorry for you loss, but hopefully this will serve as a reminder for people that they need to be ULTRA paranoid about running software that does anything related to their bitcoins/wallets/private keys... if you didn't check the code and compile it yourself, but choose to run precompiled binaries, you are potentially exposing yourself to the loss of all of your coins!  Undecided




It's even on softpedia. They need warning that it's dodgy, it needs removing from that site as fast as possible. It's also on a few other software distribution sites like softroy, downloadtopc, and spotpig, but I have never heard of those before. Softpedia's massive, it's one of the best known download sites.

I reported it as malware to softpedia and linked here.
