I highly doubt they did anything remotely like “hacking” the seed phrase. I don’t care for cryptocurrency, but I hate cop bullshit even more, so here’s my 2 cents.
or just found it written somewhere in the house?
this one.
A seed phrase is just an encoding of a long binary number which can be used to derive the secret key. Trying all the possibilities probably isn’t possible, and I think it’s also unlikely that they found a way to weaken it. What they probably did is find it and type it in. They DID raid the dude’s house, where he was probably keeping a copy of it.
“Twenty or thirty years ago, police did not hack, that was not a thing that they did, but that’s very much part of the bread and butter of a modern police force nowadays,” Mr Uren said.
LMAO fuck off with this. I don’t doubt they have some tech guys on hand. I don’t think they have access to the quantum computer you’d need for this.
They don’t care about you. They don’t even want you as a subscriber, you’re a pain in the ass. Most people are too tired and not tech savvy enough to pirate. A lot of those will eventually do something else, too, but they can cram ads into the streams faster than those people can find the wherewithal to leave.
In short, this is profitable, and no amount of raging will make it less so. Take care of yourself, but don’t pretend you’re making line go down.
