"Father of the Bitcoin" email or an intrusion identity will be revealed

According to the network version of the technology media Wired magazine, the email address of Satoshi Nakamoto, the father of the Ben Cong, may have been hacked by hackers, who also said they planned to sell private information in Ben Cong.

The self-proclaimed "Jeffrey Jeffrey" told Wired magazine that, in addition to the successful invasion of Ben Cong's e-mail account, he had also gained some personal information about Ben Cong. Jeffrey did not disclose much about the news, but when asked how he hacked into Ben Cong's mailbox, he said: "The fool registered his GMX mailbox with his full name and used several aliases." Besides, he's still alive. ”

Jeffrey's blog post on the anonymous text site, Pastebin, shows that if someone is willing to pay 25 bits (about 12,000 dollars), he will publish the private information in Ben Cong. Jeffrey claims to have received e-mail from the Ben Cong satoshin@gmx.com mailbox since 2011. 2009, one or more programmers in the name of "Ben Cong (Satoshi Nakamoto)" With the digital currency "bitcoin" has a direct relationship with the open source software, and as bitcoin around the world gradually attracted attention, people are trying to uncover the mysterious veil of Ben Cong, But his true identity has not yet been confirmed.

Jeffrey did not disclose how he got the email account of Ben Cong, nor did he respond to many of the issues raised by the wired, but there are indications that He should have used the gmx.com mailbox to get multiple accounts in Ben Cong, and in one of the accounts this week sent a message to the website of the Peer-to-peer Foundation, and a different account was used to modify a stale bit-coin developer page on the open source SourceForge website.

In a message sent to the Peer-to-peer Foundation using the Ben Cong email account, Jeffrey said he had started selling private information on the Internet. "Obviously, you're not configuring Tor properly, and your IP address was leaked when you used your email account in 2010," Jeffrey said. "Now that you're no longer safe, you need to get out of the place as quickly as possible before these people hurt you." "However, Jeffrey did not provide conclusive evidence of the information, it is not clear whether he really has mastered the real identity of Ben Cong."

According to an analysis, Ben Cong disappeared from the public view as early as 2010, so its gmx.com email account gmx.com may have allowed others to use the e-mail address after years of being unused, and gmx.com has not commented on the matter. Of course, if this account really belongs to the Ben Cong, then Geoffrey may have obtained a lot of secret information about Ben Cong, which will undoubtedly help the outside world to uncover his true identity.

Michael Marquardt, head of the Bitcoin forum Bitcointalk.org, said Jeffrey had sent him an e-mail digest he sent to Ching this March. "There are two possibilities, either that the hacker hacked into Ben Cong's mailbox in March this year, or that the hacker had received an old email after the recent invasion," Marquardt said, "but I'm sure the information we're getting at the moment is probably just the tip of the iceberg." ”
