Entrepreneur and host of the "Protocol Podcast" Eric Savics has lost his entire Bitcoin savings—12 Bitcoin, worth $113,000—in a phishing attack, as a result of downloading a malicious version of the KeepKey Bitcoin wallet.
Savics has since reached out to the community for help but these events are usually irreversible. “I had all of my Bitcoin stolen from me in a hardware wallet phishing scam. Has anyone ever successfully retrieved stolen Bitcoin? Any help or guidance would be appreciated,” he tweeted today.
Jameson Lopp, CTO of Casa, which builds security software, replied, “Sorry for your loss; never enter a seed phrase into a computer.”
I had all of my Bitcoin stolen from me in a hardware wallet phishing scam.
Has anyone ever successfully retrieved stolen Bitcoin?
Any help or guidance would be appreciated. 😔

The podcast host, who had been slowly building up his Bitcoin stash since 2013, had used the KeepKey Bitcoin client on his desktop and decided to download its corresponding app. But when he downloaded it from the Google Chrome store and entered his recovery phrase (used to generate a Bitcoin private key, which operates as a password for the funds), his Bitcoin was swiftly stolen.
One person has expressed sympathy with his situation. "Eric can you post a BTC address I will donate some to get your balance off zero," tweeted a pseudonymous Bitcoiner known as OrangeDog.
In retrospect, Savics said he realized that the wallet was fake due to a typo. “Look at this screenshot, I only noticed now. But the scammers spelt phrase wrong,” he added.

Crypto exchange ShapeShift, which operates the KeepKey wallet, warned last week that there are fake KeepKey apps in the Google Chrome store. “We will never ask you for your 12 word seed phrase, if anyone does that is a scam. Phishing attempts, such as these fake wallet apps, can lead to users losing their crypto,” it warned.
The CEO of Binance has offered to help a podcast host who lost his Bitcoin life savings in a phishing scam. Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao responded to an emotional plea on Twitter by entrepreneur and host of the “Protocol Podcast”, Eric Savics, who lost 12 Bitcoin—worth around $113,000—in a hardware wallet phishing attack. Zhao responded to Savics’s video on Twitter—which has been viewed over 106,000 times—saying he was sorry about the loss and that Binance would “put that receiving address in th...
Google has long had a problem with fake crypto wallet apps and extensions. In April, it removed 49 fake crypto wallet extensions that mimicked popular platforms like Ledger, MyEtherWallet and Trezor. Perhaps it needs to start flushing out the Google Chrome store too.
This article has been updated to no longer state that Casa builds Bitcoin nodes, since they have stopped doing so.
The solo miner of Bitcoin block 888,737—won last week with a $266,000 BTC reward—shared their story with Bitcoin mining hardware creator FutureBit, whose Apollo miners helped lead to the sizable score. The anonymous miner, who took home more than 3.15 BTC or around $266,000 last week between the fixed reward and transaction fees, did so with a home setup composed of three FutureBit Apollo miners and one Bitmain SK19pro, according to the shared email posted to X. “I usually have the Apollo miner...

Scammers are using cracked versions of TradingView Premium to drain crypto wallets. The app is disguised as a “cracked” version of the real TradingView Premium app. Downloads of the malware infused versions are being distributed via Reddit and have often been found in cryptocurrency sub Reddits. Victims have reported having their entire crypto wallets emptied. They were then impersonated by the scammers, who used their details to send out phishing attempts encouraging the victims’ contacts to d...
