Title: [2015-12-07] Fallout 4 pirate has R25, 775 worth of Bitcoins stolen Post by: Sturgeon on December 07, 2015, 04:04:10 PM In Fallout 4, the wasteland is full of a number of dangers, especially for those who pirate the game.
One Fallout 4 pirate in particular, a gamer with a penchant for amassing Bitcoins, found that out the hard way. The gamer in question was a Reddit user named arkanoah who tried to determine how his Bitcoins were stolen, via the Bitcoin subreddit. Ironically, arkanoah had pirated Fallout 4 and has determined that malware contained within the pirated game’s files were most likely the cause. We all know of Bitcoin, the digital currency. The currency is held in wallet files and all transactions are processed in the blockchain, a public master ledger of Bitcoin usage. Arkanoah posted a link to when the dubious transaction happened on the blockchain, which indicated a 4.88 BTC ($1, 773, or around R25, 775) withdrawal from his Bitcoin wallet on the 11th of November. Yes, the same day as the release of Fallout 4. http://mygaming.co.za/news/news/84225-fallout-4-pirate-has-r25-775-worth-of-bitcoins-stolen.html http://bitcoinwarrior.net/2015/12/fallout-4-pirate-has-r25-775-worth-of-bitcoins-stolen/ Title: Re: [2015-12-07] Fallout 4 pirate has R25, 775 worth of Bitcoins stolen Post by: LiteCoinGuy on December 07, 2015, 04:11:04 PM expensive game :-X
