Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

Here is an interesting case:

https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/employee-embezzled-154-million-sony-165821367.html

To me what is interesting is how it was recovered.
The link in the text goes to more description and it seems that the perp transferred stolen funds (that he converted to bitcoin) to what they called "offline cryptocurrency cold wallet".
Yet, they recovered the funds. I guess it depends on what that "offline cold wallet " means and on the perp cooperation.
If he cooperated, that's one story, but if not, than it is completely different and could mean something important.

the bitcoin address that held the 3,879 bitcoin tokens — now worth more than $180 million — and seized the funds on December 1.

very easy... return their $154 million say sorry it was mistake and keep $26million in BTC. Case closed everyone is happy

you are lucky they couldn't withdraw any thing, now you need to do some investigation... for sure someone knew you have bitcoins :p

if you find any thing please share with us so we could be more vigilant.

Hackers might not know in advance whether you have bitcoin for sure, and they might be confused about who you are or various kinds of participation in clubs, but if they get access to one or more of your e-mail accounts, they might be able to see some of your e-mails that could show those kinds of things... so maybe they get into one of your e-mail accounts first and do some exploring.. however, from my earlier experience with my early 2017 sim swap and hacking of various accounts, it seemed pretty clear from me that there was some kind of team behind how fast they had appeared to have been doing various things and I would even get them locked out of some accounts and they would get back in.. .. lasted for quite a while and some weird stuff that I do not even want to talk about... at least not at this time, and it has been nearly 5 years ago.. fuck..

Let's not forget that at least Ledger and this very forum amongst probably many others have been subject to attacks that have leaked email addresses. That likely provides a very fruitful pool to start from.

cell phone was cloned almost lost $$$

Wicked. Was it a MFA attack or an attack on the portable wallet?

the cell phone was ported to Verizon {this is impressive as no-one has access to phone)

they had my email with access {impressed with this}

This let them change my coinbase password.

But My coin base withdrawals are not enabled by that cell or email so they could not with draw. Or alter my coinbase email address.

So lots of shit is changed now.

Man, that's nasty. Thanks for sharing/warning us.

I like Kraken's way of securing their exchange. Different non-SMS 2FAs for logging-in / funding / trading, account kept in a locked state and only unlocks after a specific number of days, unless you enter a master password that is unrelated to the 2FAs. Never had any issues with hacking in my entire life, and after reading your post I can't help but feel a little worried. Should re-evaluate my security methods ASAP just in case.

Everyone spare yourselves from Matrix 4

Not gonna say more about it

I figured as much.
I remember catching the 2nd movie on my birthday at the cinema about 20 years ago.

It sucked, as did the 3rd movie I thought.

Wish they had done a Back to the future style approach and have multiple matrix programs so they could be set in different time periods  and maybe swap between them or something (yes I know about the line in the Matrix 1 that it was set in late 20th century for reasons but could just be forgotten in light for new possible adventures). I think that would have been the only way to go with things and provide enough material for sequels.

How Zion looked (like a literal hellhole!) is not what I imagined at all.
And machines having peace with humans made no sense either.

Well Humans produce the best results when they are Motivated, Happy and Safe. Thats what you guys do not get. To get 100% from a Person you need to make them happy so you can be happy with the best possible result that they can produce. Tyrannyical behavior from the A.I would only cause problems and therefore the Computer Core would have to think of a more drastic approach than to have Peace with Human Kind since Humans operate at 20% of their capability under Tyrannical rule.

I fundamentally disagree.

Humans provide terrible results when you make them happy and make them feel safe.

They won't even get out of bed half of the time!

Case in point: unsuccessful movie makers -> successful movies -> successful movie makers -> astonishingly terrible sequels.

Yes I also hate the Star Wars prequels! Awful garbage from George Lucas himself. The only really good movie I've seen Steven Spielberg (used to be a massive fan) do since Jurassic Park 1 & Schindler's List is his recent West Side Story and that was a bloody obvious remake!
