The New Hampshire duo uses cracking techniques to access lost wallets.
When crypto users lose their private keys or get scammed out of their coins by a con artist, they usually cannot recover their funds. In most cases, their crypto is lost forever. But according to a father and son team that operates out of New Hampshire, all hope is not lost. They claim to have recovered more than $6 million worth of lost crypto throughout their careers.
Chris and Charles Brooks run Crypto Asset Recovery, a service that offers to help crypto users recover lost wallets. They also provide scam-tracking for victims of crypto theft.
In a conversation with Cointelegraph, Chris Brooks, the father of co-founder Charles Brooks, said that about 70% of the duo’s clients come to them after losing their Bitcoin (BTC) wallet password. These users sometimes have no seed word backups, so if they lose their password, their wallets are difficult to recover without the help of a specialist.
