Ah, that makes so much more sense. I had thought after looking at the wallet: https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/bc1qd2jkf8lxp5d3y50gf... that it was "scrambled/tumbled/anonymized" by the attacker.

No, they just changed it themselves? They sent from that old wallet (https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/addresses/btc/bc1qd2jkf8...) to the current wallet (https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/addresses/btc/bc1qpwq8lx...) ?

I don't see any code changes in the commit history after that.

edit: oh, it looks like it wasn't actually drained.

Right I'd love a post-mortem on it!

Postmortem:

- Bitcoin is hard

- Wallets come with sophisticated anonymization built-in

- Don't create the bounty wallet 20 minutes before posting on HN (if that snafu had happened today while this post was on the front page, I would have looked pretty stupid)
