Title: Problem with decryption
Post by: luchins on May 20, 2018, 06:04:44 AM


Hello I have a problem.

I have two computers,  one of them is airgapped

I have  downloaded  and  runned Myetherwallet locally  on an airgapped computer.

In the  other computer  I made the on line  transaction

But  here comes the problem:

I  have on my pc  connected to internet  both  the  addresses  to  wich to send the coins from and  to

You  know that  when you run  MEW LOCALly  you  have to put  an on line form  and   an offline form  and then put the signed transaction in the on line  form


The  problem is  that a pontecial attacker  could have:

 1)  the address   which  I am  sending the  coins  FROM

2)  the address  which  I am  sending the coin TO

3)  the  signed  transaction.


With  all those  information, is  it  possible to recover the  Private key  whith some kind of tools?

Even attacker would able to know the addresses between the origin and the address where coins being sent as long the key isn't exposed.The important thing on here that you should have a clean pc, even if you have transferred it on an airgapped device if the online or origin is infected then its still useless.

if everything has been recorded then it is hard to restore it again. advice from me, immediately move it all to your new wallet. because they are smarter than we thought.

I would advice you move all your coin to a new and safe wallet as soon as possible as the those hackers are very smart and can cause havoc within the twinkle of an eye as long as they have all the necessary information they need to perform this bad act. If you move your coin to a new wallet, then you are assured of no harm coming to you.
