🌋 The Fall of Chivo: Hackers Leak More Data
posted 23 Apr 2024
CiberInteligenciaSV, the hacking group behind the security breach of El Salvador's state-run Bitcoin wallet Chivo, has started leaking portions of the app's source code. They had already disclosed the personal information of almost all adult users in El Salvador (5.1 million people) who downloaded the wallet.
Additionally, they have leaked the code and data for VPNs that Chivo ATMs utilize. The Salvadoran government has maintained a conspicuous silence regarding these personal and operational data leaks, as well as the hackers' ongoing disclosures.
This time I bring you the code that is inside the Bitcoin Chivo Wallet ATMs in El Salvador, remember that it is a government wallet, and as you know, we do not sell, we publish everything for free for you,declared CiberInteligenciaSV.
Chivo was launched to boost Bitcoin's use as a legal tender, initially supported by a modest airdrop, yet the wallet has generally performed poorly, with decreasing usage in recent times.
