BlockBeats News, October 30th, Australian Federal Police Commissioner Krissy Barrett revealed on Wednesday that a data scientist from the Criminal Assets Confiscation Taskforce has successfully cracked a "suspected criminal's" encrypted wallet, unlocking over $6 million. The data scientist accessed the wallet by identifying fake numbers in the seed phrase sequence.
