Unciphered, a crypto recovery firm, has extended an offer to unlock a cold wallet containing over 7,000 BTC that Stefan Thomas forgot the password to 12 years ago.

As of now, he has only two more attempts remaining.

This task required eight months of intensive work to crack a specific, decade-old model of IronKey. After an astonishing 200 trillion attempts, Unciphered successfully accessed the data, surpassing the device’s ten-attempt limit.

“We can do it; we’ve done it many times before—for our partners and others. And we can do it again. You don’t have to take our word for it. You can ask them. And if that’s not enough, we would be happy to demonstrate it on as many samples in a row as it takes for you to feel confident before moving forward.” - says the Unciphered team.
