Sez who?
Funny little story here. I'm a network engineer with a mid size US based company. A few weeks ago I and a few of my collogues were working on an issue at our Berlin office. Did a trace route from our US HQ to our Berlin office over an encrypted VPN tunnel and SOB, something in the MIDDLE of our encrypted tunnel answered. The IP address that responded was 6.12.47.200. You can go to Arin.net to see who that is. DISA. They since turned off their ICMP replies but it shows a few things. First, it is there, decrypting our traffic and I'm certain recording it. Second, it's FAST. Had it not replied I would never know it was in the middle doing it's thing.
If they can almost transparently hack an encrypted VPN tunnel, who says they can't hack into a Bitcoin wallet?
100%. It’s not the block chain you have to be concerned about with Bitcoin (or most crypto). Its the inline WALLETS those sit in. Hard wallets are the way to go.
