Cointelegraph quotes Dashjr as saying that the alleged hackers gained access to his PGP key.
It is believed that Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, CEO of Binance, has taken notice of the development.

According to Cointelegraph, Luke Dashjr, one of the original Bitcoin core developers, claimed to have lost “basically” all of his BTC as a result of a hack that occurred before the new year.

According to Cointelegraph, Dashjr claimed that the alleged hackers gained access to his PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) key in a tweet from January 1, 2023. According to reports, Dashjr disclosed a wallet address where a specific amount of his Bitcoin was sent, but he withheld the amount of Bitcoin that was stolen.

Using data from Cointelegraph, it was determined that the wallet addresses in question had four transactions between 2.08 and 2.16 PM UTC on December 31, 2022, totaling 216.93 BTC, or $3.6 million at the time. The CEO of Binance, Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, is thought to have taken notice of the development and expressed his sympathy and support for Dashjr.

I’m sorry to see you lose so much. Instructed our security team to keep watch. We’ll freeze it if it approaches us. Please inform us if there is anything else we can do to assist you. We frequently deal with them and work with Law Enforcement (LE) organizations all over the world, according to Zhao.

Additionally, according to Cointelegraph, a user by the name of SatStandard suggested in a January 1, 2023, Reddit threads that Dashjr didn’t pay much attention to the November 17, 2022, security breach and later suggested that the Bitcoin developer “did not keep different activities separated.” Others reportedly emphasized that there was no hack at all and claimed that the seed phrase had simply been discovered.
