AI Claude Cracks Bitcoin Wallet for $15 After 11 Years and 3.5 Trillion Password Attempts
A user named 'cprkrn' had forgotten the password to his Bitcoin wallet for 11 years, spending that time trying to recover access. After 3.5 trillion failed password attempts, he turned to Anthropic's AI Claude, which helped him find an old wallet file and identify an error in password mapping. With this, Claude and the btcrecover tool successfully cracked the password, costing only about $15 in computing power.
