Luke Dashjr discloses theft of more than 200 BTC after key compromise
Dashjr said his PGP key had been compromised and identified transactions that drained roughly 216.93 BTC. The theft was publicly disclosed on January 1 even though the outgoing transactions occurred on December 31, making this a disclosure event rather than a claim that the theft itself began on New Year's Day.
