How to steal bitcoin
Find the code on the bitcoin system, and you can dig bitcoin if you find the code
every other time point, the bitcoin system will generate a random code on the system node, and all computers in the Internet can search for the code. Whoever finds the code will proce a block, and then get a bitcoin. This process is often called mining. Computing this random code requires a lot of GPU operations, so the miners purchase a large number of graphics cards to get bitcoin profits more quickly, which is also an important reason for the recent shortage of graphics cards

Icelandic authorities say a mastermind suspected of stealing $3 million worth of bitcoin mining equipment has escaped from an Icelandic prison
it is reported that the suspect, named Hindley sol Stefansson, fled through the window of Songen prison in rural areas of southern Iceland in the early morning of the 17th. He was transferred to the "open" prison by the police 10 days ago. There are almost no defenses, no walls, the lowest level of security, and prisoners can make phone calls and surf the Internet
According to the report, the fugitive was arrested on February 2 on suspicion of stealing computers, together with 10 other people. At that time, Icelandic police said that the stolen computers were worth about 200 million kronor (about US $2 million). The stolen computer was specially programmed to mine bitcoin. So far, the police have not found the whereabouts of these computers. The amount of money involved is unprecedented in Icelandic criminal cases
"he has an accomplice," said gonnar Schramm, head of Icelandic police. "We are sure."
The police have asked Sweden and other European countries to help with the arrest, the National Broadcasting Authority of Iceland reporteda Swedish police spokesman said that the arrest has not yet been carried out, and the Icelandic counterparts have informed the situation and issued an international arrest warrant
in February, Icelandic police arrested 11 people including Stefansson, accusing them of stealing about 600 computers used to mine the encrypted electronic currency "bitcoin" from December last year to January this year. The total value of these computers is about 200 million kronor (about US $2 million), a record amount of criminal cases in Iceland. Icelandic media called it "bitcoin robbery"
Before Stefansson escaped from prison, 22 people were arrested, but the stolen computer was still missingSecurity of bitcoin wallet

to prevent private key leakage
As a friendly format of wallet private key, mnemonics are very convenient for you to backup and import. Because of its plaintext, we do not recommend that it be saved electronically, but copied and kept on physical media. As a al backup, mnemonics and keystore complement each otherand keystores can be stored online, such as cloud disk, or in their own U disk (hardware wallet takes advantage of this), which is relatively safer than online storage. Even if hackers steal your keystores, they can't steal the assets without the password of the keystores, so the password of the keystores is particularly important at this time
loss prevention
the main loss prevention strategy is multiple backup, multiple backup. For example, when backing up a wallet, not only the keystore, but also the mnemonic words and private key should be backed up. This is a multiple backup
