Holy shit. Claude just recovered R$2 million in Bitcoin lost 11 years ago.
3.5 TRILLION passwords tested.
None worked.
The guy tried everything:
→ RTX 4090
→ Hashcat
→ btcrecover
→ old hard drives
→ Gmail
→ iCloud
→ 8 weeks of brute force
Zero results.
Last resort:
he dumped ALL the old college files into Claude.
The AI didn't "hack" the password.
It found an old backup prior to the password change, identified a bug in btcrecover's decryption logic, and extracted the correct private keys.
5 BTC.
11 years locked up.
More than R$2 million recovered.
The AI era goes far beyond chatbots.
