A crypto user has regained access to 5 BTC after 11 years of failed attempts using Anthropic's Claude AI. The AI analyzed old local files and found a critical bug in the btcrecover software that had tried trillions of password combinations unsuccessfully.

The bug was discovered when Claude AI used its analysis capabilities to review old recovery tools and identified an issue with btcrecover's password-cracking mechanism.

Fixing this bug allowed the correct password to work, opening the wallet. This case highlights that while Bitcoin's encryption remains secure, AI can help identify software flaws in recovery tools, potentially unlocking lost crypto assets stored on old devices.
