Why now? Are these wallets hacked?

write what do you think?

maybe someone has found a vulnerability and is slowly taking large sums?


it's only for 1 month!

in the past few it was the same !!! September August July...

I think someone is moving BTC's around because that's exactly what is happening.
Not that unusual that a currency gets moved around.

Vulnerability? Where?
In windows, definitely. Adobe PDF reader? Well imaginable. Bitcoin network? Unlikely.

Don't interpret too much into a few transactions.. Could be someone selling the coins or just moving them to a new wallet etc..

[Upgrade00]

Considering the amounts BTC being moved, these are likely coinbase rewards earned in 2010 when miners received 50BTC for confirming transactions in addition with the fees, this could be a long time miner finally moving their assets or a group of miners, although the pattern suggests it could be the same person (to me at least). Newly mined coins (with no transaction history) are in high demand, so they could have been sold OTC.

Many wallets 2010 were taken this month......

There's no prove that wallets were taken, they most likely belonged to someone all this while and the person decided to move them now for whatever reason.

[mardaed]

I don't think they were hacked I think it's only natural that it a coins was transferred from wallet to another wallet but maybe you find it weird because they are all from 2010 wallets. Maybe the user moved his coins to his new wallet just like bob123 said.

I'll take for example 1 address

https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/1MVPEbnSaizmP5GknRzAXRVV6JDh4vrqDU

why should the owner throw on segwit addresses and then split them into many addresses bech

why not send immediately to bech?

this is very suspicious...

Yes, it can still be confiscated coins and now they decided to put them in their pocket. Or maybe a hacker

Err, because the owner probably just wants to? Maybe probably for privacy reasons? Maybe because the owner just paid a number of people? And the list goes on and on. How is this simple moving of funds "suspicious"?

often, hackers try to split the amounts into many wallets. so that later small amounts do not attract attention, or in this sense

I do not know what to think. I'm interested, I ask you what if?

on this I would like to know your speculations


I make a remark that the large sums that lay for 10 years began to mix. and not 1 2 wallets, but a lot and this happens every month

[lifeforcepools]

This is only a small part of what is stolen every day in the real world, not the crypto world. Remember this.

[joniboini]

There's no supporting evidence that those wallets got hacked. If that is true pretty sure there will be reports on forums/social media about "hey I lose my coin help" etc. This is just your assumption. Even if those are true, the reason is probably due to malware, bad wallet management, and other kinds of attacks, not some brute force gamble to get the private keys.

Of course there is a possibility. Heck, even a typical transaction regardless of address format could also be a hack. But then, can we really do anything about it? And can we even know for sure if it really is a hack in the first place? Unless the address owners actually publicize what the transaction is actually about, then nope. Probably spend your time on something more productive instead.

[BrewMaster]

this is not at all uncommon to see the old coins move specially when there is a price rise happening or the fees are starting to spike up. it is a consolidation plus enjoyment of the profit from the ongoing rally.
for example during 2017 we saw a ton of old coins move, a lot of them were after the SegWit softfork to SegWit addresses while some claimed and dumped their shitcoin gifts.

[Ridcan]

Someone must be thinking of their own by sending bitcoins to different wallets.  I could not understand what is the purpose.  Of course, such movements appear occasionally.

[gentlemand]

If coins have been sitting unmoved for 10 long years I think it's safe to say the security measures of the owner are good enough. If they could've been had away they no doubt would've been.

There've been increasing numbers of early coins moving around. I guess the owners reckon The Big One might be on the way.

[hatshepsut93]

It shocks you because you probably assumed that if coins weren't moved for 10 years, then they are lost. But in Bitcoin, there's actually no way to tell if a coin is lost or no, so you can never be certain if a coin is lost or not. I don't see anything suspicious with lots of early coins being moved, after all, Bitcoin exists to be transacted, not to sit there forever.

[Lhaine]

Maybe because the owners know some one is watching the wallet since it's part of the old wallet they are securing it  to  new wallet which they prefered to use and without someone following it .

Even it's an old wallet it doesn't mean owner dont know  that he has large balance or they are just forget where he stored the keys, and it's take time for him to find it . After finding the keys he decided to move it to new wallet address and keys to make it much secured.

maybe what you say is true.  If these transports were made due to such a situation, nobody has the right to say anything.  perhaps a measure to prevent their own bitcoins from possible theft.

[blockman]

The owner is simply moving those coins to another personal wallet or an exchange.
Expect something as transferring of huge amounts when the market's bullish. Not that new incident and you probably have missed those bigger transfers before than you have said.

[Wexnident]

You're clearly thinking way too deep into this imo. Add on to that that you as well as we can't clearly do anything about it, even if we do assume that what your speculating is correct. The owner wanted to move funds as such, not really our choice to judge it. Vulnerabilities here can't really be proven, nor is it possible imo, it's either that the wallet owner just really wanted to move it into new wallets, or the original owner simply gave the original wallet out to someone else and said someone is now then moving those coins towards his own wallets.

Honestly, if it was a transaction of a wallet recently made and not a wallet from the past, would you act the same? I doubt it tbh.

[TravelMug]

We even didn't know who the owner of those wallets in the beginning? So how can you assume that it has been hacked and not just moved to another wallet?

Besides, if this has been hacked, we should have heard noises already, but so far, you are the first person to speculate that this old wallet have been breached by criminals. And the only logical explanation for now is that like you and me, people moved wallets around for security and privacy.

[Artemis3]

There is no mention of any hacking anywhere. Some people are maybe wisely moving their funds to newer wallets, better protected with modern seed words and perhaps even bech32.

The only thing you can speculate about this, is that those funds were never lost. Not all old wallets are forgotten..
