Cobo co-founder Shenyu has claimed that US security forces have accessed the private keys of 120,000 Bitcoins (BTC). According to Shenyu, this access was made possible not by any “hack” or system breach, but by detecting a randomness error used in generating the private keys. According to the information shared, the vulnerability affected over 220,000 wallet addresses. The private keys in these wallets were generated by a faulty pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) that operated with a fixed offset and pattern. This made the keys predictable.

In the following days, this amount decreased to approximately 4 BTC.

Experts say this amount is unusual and could offer additional clues about the technical aspects of the incident. *This is not investment advice.
