Electrical engineer Joe Grand and his little team of security researchers were able to hack into an encrypted file holding 43.6 bitcoins, unlocking a cryptocurrency wallet worth $3 million and ultimately saving a man who had forgotten his password 11 years ago.
Taking to his popular YouTube channel on Tuesday (May 28), Joe uploaded a video showing how he had been hired to hack into a man’s highly valuable encrypted file, which he had not been able to access since 2013.
Michael, whose identity was blurred during the 21-minute-long video, which has amassed nearly 300,000 views, emailed Joe for help last year.
