A cryptocurrency user successfully recovered 5 Bitcoin worth $320,000 after using the AI chatbot Claude to locate a lost wallet backup and password.Summary
A pseudonymous user, Cprkrn, regained access to 5 Bitcoin, valued at approximately $320,000, after failing to access them for over a decade. The user utilized Anthropic’s AI chatbot, Claude, to analyze over 1 gigabyte of personal data, including old notebooks and laptop files. Claude identified a critical wallet backup from 2019 and assisted in decrypting it, ending an eight-week recovery process that involved testing trillions of password combinations using various tools. While some critics argue Claude merely acted as a search assistant rather than a hacking tool, the recovery successfully moved dormant funds for the first time since 2015.
