This Man Was Locked Out Of His Bitcoin Wallet For 11 Years — Claude AI Got Him Back In

A Bitcoin holder known as @cprkrn recovered 5 BTC (worth ~$400K-$500K) on May 13, 2026, after being locked out of his wallet for over 11 years, crediting Claude AI for the breakthrough. While intoxicated in college, he changed his wallet password and forgot it. Despite having an old seed phrase and attempting professional recovery services and brute-force software, he remained locked out until Bitcoin surpassed $100,000. His recovery method involved uploading his entire old college computer's data into Claude. The AI forensicly identified an older wallet file and discovered a bug in the btcrecover utility that was concatenating a key with the password incorrectly. Claude corrected the decryption logic, extracted the private keys, and regained access to the funds. Blockchain data confirmed the wallet's first activity since 2015. The story went viral on X, garnering millions of views. The original ~$1,250 investment, made at roughly $250 per Bitcoin, had grown by approximately 32,500%.

Claude Helps Man Recover 5 Bitcoins Forgotten for 11 Years, Worth Nearly $400,000

AI Chatbot Claude Helps Man Recover 5 Bitcoins Forgotten for 11 Years, Worth Nearly $400,000 A user named Cprkrn recovered a Bitcoin wallet containing 5 BTC (~$400,000), locked for over 11 years, with the help of Anthropic's AI, Claude. The wallet was originally locked after Cprkrn changed its password while under the influence in university and subsequently forgot it. Claude did not crack the password. Instead, after Cprkrn uploaded all files from his old university computer, Claude sifted through the data and located an earlier, pre-password-change version of the encrypted wallet file (wallet.dat). Cprkrn had also recently found a handwritten seed phrase, but it was incompatible with the main wallet file. Claude's key breakthrough was identifying and fixing a bug in the open-source recovery tool `btcrecover`, which had been concatenating the shared key and user password in the wrong order. After correcting this logic error and running the decryption process, Claude successfully extracted the private key, allowing the funds to be accessed and transferred. While the post garnered over 10 million views and sparked excitement, wallet recovery experts noted Claude's role was more akin to AI-assisted digital forensics—organizing unstructured historical data, diagnosing tool issues, and executing a corrected process—rather than true cryptographic password cracking. The recovery relied on pre-existing user-held data fragments: old computer files, a valid seed phrase, and an older wallet file. The story highlights a potential new, lower-cost path for recovering lost crypto assets, dependent on users retaining old data. It also occurs against a backdrop where an estimated one-third of Bitcoin's circulating supply is dormant in long-lost or inaccessible wallets.

Confidential LIBRA Advisory Agreement Between Co‑Creator And President Milei Revealed

A new chapter has unfolded in the LIBRA cryptocurrency scandal involving Argentine President Javier Milei. Judicial findings reveal a draft "confidential agreement" allegedly signed by Milei and LIBRA co-creator Hayden Mark Davis on January 30, 2025—two weeks before the token's launch. The document was discovered on devices seized from lobbyist Mauricio Novelli, a key figure in the case and close associate of Milei. This contradicts Milei’s earlier denials of any formal agreement with Davis. The token’s value surged after Milei’s public endorsement on February 14, 2025, but subsequently collapsed, causing an estimated $251 million in investor losses. Forensic experts also noted significant data deletion from Novelli’s devices, including missing communications with Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson, who previously accused Novelli of soliciting payments for a meeting with Milei. The investigation continues amid allegations of corruption and fraud.

Figure Technology Confirms Customer Data Breach After Social Engineering Attack

Figure Technology, a blockchain-based lending firm, has confirmed a data breach resulting from a social engineering attack. Hackers tricked an employee into providing access, leading to the theft of approximately 2.5 GB of customer data, including names, addresses, birth dates, and phone numbers. The group ShinyHunters claimed responsibility and released the data after the company refused to pay a ransom. No financial information or passwords were confirmed to be compromised. The company has launched an investigation, notified affected customers, and is offering free credit monitoring. Cybersecurity experts emphasize that such attacks target human vulnerabilities rather than technical flaws.
