Why does nobody believe the theft of 215 bitcoins from Luke Dashjr?
Observatorio Blockchain
¿Por qué nadie se cree el robo de 215 bitcoins a Luke Dashjr?
Resulta extraño que a Luke Dashjr, una de las personas que más ha aportado a la ciberseguridad de Bitcoin, le hayan robado 215 bitcoins
 > Luke Dashjr, one of Bitcoin's leading developers, has been making headlines lately after having 215 bitcoins stolen. Dashjr explained that a hacker gained access to his server, his Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) system, his wallet, and his bitcoins. It's unbelievable that one of the people who has contributed the most to the cybersecurity of the Bitcoin protocol could have been hacked so easily and lost such a large sum of money.

DEF CON 33 - Stories from a Tor dev - Roger 'arma' Dingledine - YouTube > What is it actually like to support and balance a global anonymity network, with users ranging from political dissidents to national security analysts? You say it's important to teach law enforcement and governments about privacy and end-to-end encryption, but how do those conversations go in practice? I heard you accidentally got Russia to block all of Azure for a day? Are you ever going to do a Tor talk in China? Wait, who exactly tried to bribe you to leave bugs in Tor to support their criminal schemes? > Historically I've tried to downplay some of the excitement from operating the Tor network and teaching the world about Tor, but this year I'm going to try my hand at the "war stories" track.

DEF CON 33 - Kill List: Hacking an Assassination Site on the Dark Web - YouTube Four years ago, Chris found a vulnerability with a murder for hire site on the dark net. He could exploit that vulnerability to intercept the murder orders that were being placed: names, addresses, pattern of life information, photos, and, in some cases, bitcoin payments. He reached out to Carl for help, and a small team was built in secret to intercept and triage these orders. However, after their warnings to the police fell on deaf ears, they ultimately decided to warn the targets on the kill list directly. After an initial series of successes, the investigation expanded rapidly and they formed a global cooperation with the FBI and police forces around the world, resulting over 175 murder orders being disclosed, 34 arrests 28 convictions and over 180 years of prison time being sentenced. This talk will be about those years: about the dangers and threats the team had to navigate, the times of isolation when the police wouldn’t take them seriously, about raids in Romania to uncover the cyber-criminal gang running the site and the psychological impact of racing against time to try to stop people getting murdered.
