A longtime Bitcoin holder says Anthropic’s Claude AI helped recover access to a wallet containing about 5 BTC, now worth roughly $400,000, after more than a decade of failed attempts. The user had spent weeks brute-forcing passwords before uploading files from an old computer into Claude, which identified a forgotten wallet backup. The backup matched recovery details already written in a notebook, allowing the wallet to be unlocked. The case highlights AI’s growing usefulness in digital forensics and data recovery rather than breaking cybersecurity itself.
