Damn, that's sad.

Assuming it even ended up in the landfill in the first place.

If I see electronics, especially a discarded laptop, anywhere near a trashcan or garbage pile I'm taking it home.

It's scary in here. And losing that kind of money through carelessness. And the loss of time because he's been trying to find this disk since 2013. But most importantly, the loss of hope for enrichment, which was alive for more than 10 years. In such a situation, it is very easy to snap and go into a deep depression...

In 2024, the crypto industry suffered more than $3.01 billion in damage from malicious hackers. Of that, about $2.15 billion was lost as a result of more than 300 hacker attacks - a 30% increase from 2023. The remaining $834.5 million fell prey to fraudsters. Only 300 hacker attacks? In an entire year? That's probably just the ones that got caught.
The Ethereum blockchain accounted for 47.3% of stolen funds and 34.8% of hacks. Bitcoin came in second in terms of damage with a 14.6% share, and in terms of attacks, this network came in fourth with 3.6%.
DeFi continues to be the main target of hackers - 53.5% of all losses are related to their hacks. The biggest incidents of the year include attacks on DMM Bitcoin ($305 million), PlayDapp ($290 million) and WazirX (~$230 million).
Over the course of the year, about $488.5M worth of stolen assets were recovered.
I don't think my wallet is in danger of being hacked, more likely breaking whales.

In 2015, Rein Lohmus bought ETH for $75,000, and now its value has exceeded $1 billion.
The problem is that he lost his keys.

The lad lost hope and gave up searching. For more than 12 years, the disc lay under 25,000 cubic metres of waste at the Newport landfill site all year round. He decided that it would be impossible to restore it.

The city will build a shopping centre on the site of the landfill.
