Wired magazine reported on Tuesday that the personal e-mail account belonging to the elusive Bitcoin founder, Satoshi Nakamoto, had been hacked. The hacker, who said his name is “Jeffrey,” said he has sensitive information that could reveal Nakamoto’s identity and, for a price, would release documents. He asked for 25 bitcoins (BTC)—worth roughly $12,000—to be sent to a specific BTC address.
