Got hacked, lost 11 BTC \ stacker news ~bitcoin

That shouldn't be the takeaway. The takeaway should be popularizing multisig models that use things like 2fa (mobile key and desktop key) to authorize transactions and slowly fading out single sig hot wallets.

Can you 2fa any wallet with a yubikey?

I was thinking of using a desktop wallet to generate a signed psbt that would get scanned via qr code to one's phone before getting signed and broadcast there.

I haven't seen any articles about trying to use yubikeys to make ECDSA secp256k1 signatures from this year but it seems possible with some manual intervention (see the comment in the 1st link). Here are some of the newer articles I found from google:

https://www.reddit.com/r/yubikey/comments/rxz71h/since_yubikey_52_support_ec_secp256k1_couldnt_it/ (2022)

https://www.reddit.com/r/yubikey/comments/yqc6pu/yubikey_support_for_secp256k1/ (2022)

I only see EC algorithms in the context of OpenPGP ;( https://docs.yubico.com/hardware/yubikey/yk-tech-manual/yk5-apps.html#elliptic-curve-cryptographic-ecc-algorithms

Losing 11BTC is a federal crime and you must plead guilty.

This reminds me of Dashjr hack a while ago. It's really amazing how OGs and expert people put their big stacks at risk like this, while everyone is so paranoid today and we have so many good tools.

Lmfao. Y’all should backup to cold wallets like Trezor if you haven’t already.

Keeping funds in a hot wallet, using Windows, installing random-ass shady software. With so many OpSec holes I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner.

If I were in his position I wouldn't have the strength to post about the hack... especially if it was 11 btc
I'm surprised he only mentions his wife... Maybe she's more dangerous than an experienced hacker at extorting money :P:P:P:P

Talked to my wife. She tried to install a voice changer software yesterday from a link on twitter and it didn't install. This is a windows 11 PC. I see something new called WingFtpServer as a startup program. That has to be it. C'est la vie Embarrassed

How a seedsigner differs from a cold card or blockstream jade?

51 sats \ 2 replies \ @Bullen 26 Nov 2023

you don't show the world that you buy a bitcoin wallet, you buy some computer parts, can even buy them from separate stores or vendors
no trust in any company needed to not put in back doors or whatever
seed signer open source
lower cost
