Entrepreneur and host of the "Protocol Podcast" Eric Savics has lost his entire Bitcoin savings—12 Bitcoin, worth $113,000—in a phishing attack, as a result of downloading a malicious version of the KeepKey Bitcoin wallet.
Savics has since reached out to the community for help but these events are usually irreversible. “I had all of my Bitcoin stolen from me in a hardware wallet phishing scam. Has anyone ever successfully retrieved stolen Bitcoin? Any help or guidance would be appreciated,” he tweeted today.
Jameson Lopp, CTO of Casa, which builds security software, replied, “Sorry for your loss; never enter a seed phrase into a computer.”
I had all of my Bitcoin stolen from me in a hardware wallet phishing scam.
Has anyone ever successfully retrieved stolen Bitcoin?
Any help or guidance would be appreciated. 😔

The podcast host, who had been slowly building up his Bitcoin stash since 2013, had used the KeepKey Bitcoin client on his desktop and decided to download its corresponding app. But when he downloaded it from the Google Chrome store and entered his recovery phrase (used to generate a Bitcoin private key, which operates as a password for the funds), his Bitcoin was swiftly stolen.
One person has expressed sympathy with his situation. "Eric can you post a BTC address I will donate some to get your balance off zero," tweeted a pseudonymous Bitcoiner known as OrangeDog.
In retrospect, Savics said he realized that the wallet was fake due to a typo. “Look at this screenshot, I only noticed now. But the scammers spelt phrase wrong,” he added.

Crypto exchange ShapeShift, which operates the KeepKey wallet, warned last week that there are fake KeepKey apps in the Google Chrome store. “We will never ask you for your 12 word seed phrase, if anyone does that is a scam. Phishing attempts, such as these fake wallet apps, can lead to users losing their crypto,” it warned.
The CEO of Binance has offered to help a podcast host who lost his Bitcoin life savings in a phishing scam. Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao responded to an emotional plea on Twitter by entrepreneur and host of the “Protocol Podcast”, Eric Savics, who lost 12 Bitcoin—worth around $113,000—in a hardware wallet phishing attack. Zhao responded to Savics’s video on Twitter—which has been viewed over 106,000 times—saying he was sorry about the loss and that Binance would “put that receiving address in th...
Google has long had a problem with fake crypto wallet apps and extensions. In April, it removed 49 fake crypto wallet extensions that mimicked popular platforms like Ledger, MyEtherWallet and Trezor. Perhaps it needs to start flushing out the Google Chrome store too.
This article has been updated to no longer state that Casa builds Bitcoin nodes, since they have stopped doing so.
Crypto's best minds are heading east, and it's gaining at a pace that other regions are finding hard to catch up to. Asia was responsible for 32% of global crypto developer activity in 2024, according to a report from venture firm Electric Capital. The firm recently published its comprehensive annual report, analyzing over 900 million code commits across the crypto industry. The transformation represents a nearly threefold increase from Asia's 12% share in 2015, while North America's position de...
Google's announcement of its breakthrough Willow quantum processor has reignited debates about crypto security, with some observers suggesting quantum computers could break Bitcoin's encryption. The tech giant claims its new quantum computing chip can complete certain calculations in five minutes, which would take traditional supercomputers an impractical amount of time to process. Quantum computing is a new type of computing that uses the strange properties of quantum physics, where small part...
Dimo, a platform for developers to build apps and enable car drivers to monetize their data, is migrating between Ethereum scaling networks, the developers exclusively told Decrypt—from Polygon to Coinbase’s Base. Co-founder Rob Solomon believes the move opens doors for valuable partnerships ahead. The project is a “global API layer for cars” that is aiming to make every car on earth smart and programmable. This could manifest, the company says, in a future full of AI car mechanics and smart par...
