The hackers reset his password, and whatever dumb e-mail system the guy was using lets you do this with only your phone.


What?

He had the bitcoins stored in an external encrypted hard drive. Then he plugged the hard drive in, and they somehow stole them. They were encrypted with a 30 character password. You can't do a password resent on encryption. I'm asking how did they get the file from his external hard drive, and how did they decrypt it?


Gmail does this, right?
