Luke Dashjr, a Bitcoin developer, lost about 200 BTC in the hack.
The developer claims he has no idea how hackers obtained access to his PGP key.
Luke Dashjr, a Bitcoin developer and one of the core developers, claimed his PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) key was hacked. This resulted in the theft of nearly almost 200+bitcoins on Dec 31. On January 1, he tweeted that the developer had stated that the hackers had gained access to his PGP key, a typical security technique that employs two keys to gain access to encrypted data.
In another thread, he disclosed a wallet address where some of the stolen BTC was sent but did not specify how much of his Bitcoin (BTC) was taken.
PSA: My PGP key is compromised, and at least many of my bitcoins stolen. I have no idea how. Help please. #Bitcoin
