A US-based programmer, Stefan Thomas, has two attempts left to guess the password of his hard drive, which contains private keys to his digital wallet with bitcoins worth ₹1,715 crore. The hard drive gives 10 attempts before encrypting everything inside. Thomas, who already entered the wrong password eight times, lost the paper where he wrote down the password years ago.
