| body | "# US Department of Health and Human Services Seeks Bid for Litecoin and Bitcoin Wallet Hacking Hardware
I did a simply query moments ago just out of curiosity on the [fed biz ops web site](https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&mode=form&id=0f329a58d2d322f0be8011e7842f2bde&tab=core&_cview=0) for bitcoin and was astonished and disturbed at what I found. ***The Department of Health and Human Services*** has submitted a bid for HACKING HARDWARE. Specifically a Brutalis System, Hardware designed for the sole purpose of cracking password hashes. The bid was placed Dec 12, 2017 so its just over a month old and has already been fulfilled.
### Lets have a quick look at a Brutalis system and what it generally consist of.

Now the bid mentions $Bitcoin and $Litecoin wallet dat files but more specifically the https://blockchain.info website. This should be of major interest to the owners of that wallet website.

> (vi) Description of Requirements - this acquisition is for Brutalis password/encryption hardware needed to allow continuity of operations for the Office of Inspector General (OIG) Forensic Computer Examiners (FCEs) in the performance of their duties relating to forensic analysis of electronic data/digital evidence as part of ongoing criminal investigations, which is/are secured by unknown/unidentified password/ encryption.
Bids for this system had to be submitted to Specialist at Ingrid.Walker@psc.hhs.gov no later than 2:00 pm on January 4th 2018.
The bid claims it is for **Forensics**, but this same government also claimed that the North Vietnamese sank one of our ships in the [Gulf of Tonkin](http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/15/world/asia/15vietnam.html?_r=3&emc=eta1) and 58,000 Americans lost their lives for something that actually never happened.
This is really dangerous. Particularly if you have an online wallet or an account on the https://blockchain.info website. Same can be said if you have large amounts of crypto stored on any of the hundreds of exchanges around the world. That's right your crypto is not safe from the US Government if it is stored anywhere online.

Best thing you can do is keep a [paper wallet](https://blockgeeks.com/guides/paper-wallet-guide/) and DON'T LOSE it. I hope this opens your eyes to the real dangers that are facing crypto currency users. Keep in mind it's not only Johnny Cypherpunk in his mothers basement trying to hack your crypto that you have to worry about. It is the most powerful governemnt in the world that wants to know what you have in crypto as well. They may not steal your crypto like Johnny Cypherpunk but them knowing what you have may in fact be a far worse scenario for you to deal with.
