What happened
Luke Dashjr, one of the original Bitcoin Core developers, claimed on Twitter that attackers had managed to compromise multiple wallets, with more than 216 BTC (approximately $3.6 million) stolen. Dashjr initially blamed the attack on a leaked PGP key, but later said the PGP leak was just part of a broader hack in which the attacker also bypassed two-factor authentication and gained access to his wallet.
