El Salvador Bitcoin Wallet Under Threat Again

A group of cybercriminals has released the source code of the software used in the Chivo Bitcoin ATMs maintained by the government of El Salvador. Unfortunately, this is not the first serious breach for the Chivo wallet. The associated system operating in El Salvador has been hacked numerous times since its debut in 2021, with the most recent incident occurring earlier this month when a hacker published over 5 million high-resolution photos of nearly every adult in El Salvador, including detailed contact information.
