What's interesting to me is the letter sent to the parents house, it's similar to that of a scam email requesting for millions of bitcoin... or else. The irony.

Side note: could have this happened if you ran a browser with JS turned off?
- dan-robertson 5y agoThe exploit was that the victim downloaded some malware (that came bundled with software he intended to download) which ran in the background looking for a Bitcoin address in his clipboard and quickly replacing it with a different one. It wouldn’t be possible to do that in an ordinary JavaScript application (lots of restrictions on clipboard access) and the malware was not a website so turning js is irrelevant
