Title: Finding BitcoinicaHacker
Post by: flatfly on July 06, 2012, 10:31:41 AM
Just a question that has been lingering in the back of my mind lately...

Is anyone (forum users, Bitcoinica, law enforcement, Rackspace, etc) actively
hunting for BitcoinicaHacker?

Or is it just too hard?


And how likely is it that he is active on these forums?
I would say, very likely - from the IRC logs, he seems to
be the bragging type.

But this is just speculation of course.

The bragging type will eventually brag enough to be caught. The only question is will he brag enough?

Very controversial statement.

People claim all sorts of things on the internet, especially about their mad skillz.  The hacker's not going to get "caught" in any meaningful sense unless law enforcement (who we've been told haven't received a report about the intrusion, the theft or the destruction of data) can prove that the specific person doing the bragging gained unauthorised access to the Bitcoinica server - evidence of that might not even exist after this amount of time.
