Austin questions how eMudhra's single-digit private key went unnoticed, when on Ethereum it would have been swept instantly Kain: "They thought that they were running around with, like, an 80 digit number, and it was a single digit number." Taylor: "These eMudhra guys have said that they have no indication that it's been exploited. It seems like a great little thing for, like, the NSA to have in their back pocket, in my opinion." Austin: "If you were to put money in the private key four and put it on Ethereum, it would be gone instantly. Because it's not just like someone's checking. Someone has already checked." "They generated all these addresses, and they're watching them. And as soon as someone puts money in, it's swept." "How has someone not put the number four in as a private key, got the public key out, and just searched the internet for it? How did this not happen?"
