Luke Dashjr, who claims to be “the longest contributing Bitcoin Core developer,” revealed that an unknown hacker had raided “basically all” of his Bitcoin holdings on New Year’s Day.
The total sum of Bitcoin stolen is unknown, but in a Twitter thread, Dashjr tracked “some of it” to a wallet address that received a little under 217 Bitcoin, or about $3.6 million at today’s price.
Dashjr blamed the hack of his Bitcoin wallet on a compromised PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) key and later, in a Reddit discussion, he stated that the attacker’s IP came from a ColoCrossing server. He was at a loss to explain how his cold wallets were compromised, but he said the last time he’d accessed them was in September.
Looks like some of it is coinjoined to 1YAR6opJCfDjBNdn5bV8b5Mcu84tv92fa
— @LukeDashjr@BitcoinHackers.org on Mastodon (@LukeDashjr) January 1, 2023
Dashjr posted a followup tweet calling out ColoCrossing for allegedly “dropping the ball on abuse investigation last time” and he vowed to replace his server provider. Some responders also flagged up a security breach he tweeted about back in November as possibly being connected to the hack.
Dashjr continued to answer questions on Twitter, saying that he believes “everything is compromised,” even potentially his Twitter. He also strongly cautioned people against using Bitcoin Knots, a Bitcoin wallet signed by his own now-compromised PGP key. Dashjr also tweeted at the FBI for help, to no avail.
Binance CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao offered his support, saying that he had informed the exchange's security team of the theft, and that if any crypto linked to the hack was sent to Binance, "we will freeze it."
Zhao immediately wrote a follow-up tweet linking to Dashjr’s thread as an example of the risks of holding cryptocurrency in self-custody wallets.
Sad to see even an OG #Bitcoin Core Developer lost 200+ BTC ($3.5 million). Self custody have a different set of risks.
We will try to monitor and see where we can help. 🙏 https://t.co/9eGZ7AFgC2

Self-custody solutions include a variety of different software and hardware platforms, and can broadly be categorized as things like hot wallets (online software wallets), cold (hardware) wallets and DeFi exchanges. The latter two have seen heightened interest from consumers throughout the industry’s ongoing insolvency crisis, also known as “Crypto Winter.”
The self-custody of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrency assets is grabbing much more attention ever since Sam Bankman-Fried's FTX exchange unexpectedly blew up a couple of weeks ago in a whirlwind of drama. Users of the former third-largest exchange have no idea if they will ever get their money back. With this in mind, many users are deciding to no longer trust centralized exchanges like FTX or Coinbase with their funds. "If you leave your funds on an exchange, you open yourself up to r...
As contagion from the historic collapses of Terra and FTX spread in a year where record numbers of cybertheft were reported, people increasingly looked towards getting their balances off of accounts controlled by centralized entities, like exchanges and lenders, and onto self-custody solutions.
After billions of dollars worth of crypto were withdrawn from Binance in a single day, Changpeng Zhao took to a Twitter Spaces talk to warn that “99% of people” will lose crypto that they hold using self-custody solutions.
Stackup, an enterprise-grade platform for managing on-chain business operations, said on Friday that it secured $4.2 million in seed funding. The Los Angeles-based firm, which previously built account abstraction tech for Coinbase and Trust Wallet, said it will use the funds to further develop its platform, which gives businesses “centralized control of decentralized assets,” according to the company’s website. Stackup’s seed funding round was led by venture capital firm 1kx, with participation...
Former Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky has agreed to forfeit all claims to the bankrupt crypto lender's assets, clearing the way for additional creditor distributions. The agreement, filed Monday in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, prohibits Mashinsky and three related entities (AM Ventures Holdings Inc., Koala1 LLC, and Koala3 LLC) from receiving any bankruptcy proceeds. All of Mashinsky's claims submitted or scheduled on his behalf be "withdrawn, disallowed, and sha...
Semler Scientific plans to acquire up to 105,000 Bitcoin by 2027, aiming to become the second-largest corporate holder of the asset after Michael Saylor’s Strategy. The NASDAQ-listed healthcare technology firm revealed the aggressive timeline on Thursday as part of a new three-year plan focused on expanding its treasury reserves by accumulating Bitcoin. Since adopting the world's largest crypto as its primary treasury reserve asset in May last year, Semler has framed the move not as a speculativ...
