I'm not sure if this is a real wallet or if this article is an advertisement for RaidForums.
If it's about decrypting the wallet, Vice is right that it's next to impossible. But bob123 is probably right that they're just trying to get the password right. If the 2FA was enabled, even a password would not help them to get the money. I don't understand why people do such things, to be honest, because not only it's a low-probability win, it's also morally wrong. So I hope they won't succeed in this venue, and the money will remain in the wallet (if the story is even true). It could be news if they already got in, but since it's just about attempts, I don't understand why it's worthy of an article.
