Recently I was visiting one of my friends who writes code, he brought up this topic to me recently saying that it seems like old wallets are being hacked into, that hackers have targeted older BTC addresses because of their vulnerabilities and lack of security.
I thought that was very interesting and since he is a tech savvy coder his use of relevant jargon and explanation was so good, I just wish I remembered exactly how he put it. I did a quick search though and found this relevant article:
https://cryptoslate.com/old-wallets-activate-sparking-fears-of-mass-hack-targeting-bitcoin-veterans/Could it be that folks have figured out how to crack the codes on these old private keys? IF so, they are seeing some massive pay days, EH?
If there's no news release about those OG wallets for being compromised well maybe there's nothing to worry about it. But if there's fud spreading about those incident where threatining about dumping some large balances then maybe we need to take action since we can ride up the news and earn with. Rather than get bothered and get stress for possible scenario that might happen. For now just think that the wallet owner of that wallet is maybe checking if his bitcoins still intact on his wallet.
