@anakita@void.lgbt not if the wallet is cryptographically secure. I don't know how these things work, but from a cursory search, these "hacks" seem to happen on hardware wallets, which contain either the plaintext password or an encrypted password + encryption key stored somewhere within them.

@lewdum @anakita no there was one where a software wallet was really really stupid and only used a bit of the time to seed the random. so although it was using really long keys and was cryptographically secure anyone could brute force it :3
