Can Investors Properly Plan For Death Or Loss Of Your Private Access Key Regarding Crypto Assets

Death Or Loss Of Your Access Key Could Mean The End To your Digital Assets – Have Your Planned Well?

It is not perplexing that the world of crypto has a sea of opportunities for those willing to take the risk. But much as there could be nothing wrong with whichever of these investment ventures, some of them are, by far, unbelievable.

Take The Case Of Those Whose Career Entails Hunting For Digital Locks For A Living!

KeychainX is an up-and-coming blockchain security project that helps cryptocurrency investors to recover lost cryptocurrencies. The startup’s CEO is Robert Rhodin, a longhaired man whose tales of how he has assisted many recover their Bitcoin and other digital assets are incredible.

Rhodin, the Sweden-based safe-cracker, got into the art after his friend’s crypto wallet inadvertently malfunctioned. He twiddled with the wallet’s hardware, doing all sorts of things to navigate through the circuitry behind the bum button, until he gained access. Motivated by the unlikely success, Rhodin came up with a program that uses brute force to uncover forgotten passwords, and it miraculously worked!

It’s easy to dismiss Rhodin’s KeychainX startup, mostly by those who store their wallet’s private keys well. But the sad memories elicited by revelations of all the keys lost forever make the whole venture a novelty.

Death Of QuadrigaCX Founder Exposes The World To The Dangers Of Losing Private Keys

The other day, the owner of QuadrigaCX, a budding Canadian exchange, died mysteriously. His death was a massive loss to the crypto community, not merely because of the demise of such a brilliant, but also the loss of the exchange’s login details.

Gerry Cotton’s $190 million worth of assets will probably go down the drain because nobody knows the password to the exchange. Also caught in the web of confusion are those who had invested in the exchange.

Conspiracy theories are brewing on Reddit, all purportedly based on the notion that he could have run away with their money. The conjectures sharply contrast with the news that he submitted to Crohn’s disease.

The widow, desperate to have no lawsuits against her dead husband filed, has submitted an affidavit. She wants a ‘stay of action’ that would allow her to find the business records in peace as they solve the crisis.

Already, there’s a ray of hope following the findings of one forensic investigator who recovered a few coins from his phone and another computer. It, however, remains to be seen whether they will decrypt the main computer he often used on his business.

Exchanges To Roll Out Plans That Would Help Transfer Assets To Next Of Kin

In the wake of this wealth-obliterating mishap, there’s a growing concern that such problems could become more common. This reason has thus compelled a host of exchanges to have in place a way through which they would transfer the assets of a dead investor to his/her next of kin.

Coinbase has already done this, although there could be lots of limitations to the whole arrangement. There are those who resort to keeping their wallet’s keys and passwords on their own instead of relying on a backup plan.

Rhodin, however, believes that there’s hope that the efforts of the hired forensic investigators would yield fruits. He admits that it’s comparatively easier to bypass a PC’s encryption although it all depends on how long the password is.

When all’s said and done, the revelations serve as a huge eye-opener, at least for you, the sole custodian of the private keys to your crypto wallet. Do you have a proper plan that would ensure a seamless transfer of your assets when you die?

This company promises to recover files from your locked iPhone – but it won’t help the FBI

DriveSavers, a company known for its data recovery services, announced that it can offer “passcode lockout recovery service,” which means it can unlock your secured iPhone. That’s notable because it’s damn near impossible to unlock an iOS device without the passcode or access to the owners’ biometric signatures for authentication.
