Troll or thief? User claims Bitcoin founder Satoshi Nakamoto dox sabotage

By Darren Pauli, 10 Sep 2014
 
An internet user has claimed to have hacked the email account of the entity thought to be behind the Bitcoin - Satoshi Nakamoto -and has offered to release personal details for $12,000.
Nothing is known about the identity of the claimed hacker and there is little evidence that they had details of Nakamoto to hand.
 Evidence for the claimed hack appers in a document on Pastebin - the favourite rant and ransom web clipboard of hackers, hacktivists and hoax-slingers - that incoudes screen shots of the inbox of an email address thought to be used by Nakamoto.
The unkown parties have also accessed forum accounts associated with the gmx email address identified in the scree shots, including those at a p2pfoundation sitewhere, they wrote under the Nakamoto name that Satoshi's "dox [personal details], passwords and IP addresses are being sold on the dark net". The data was apparently available due to Nakamoto misconfiguring Tor sometime in 2010.
