Apparently an old file had his previous password in plaintext... The AI just searched through a ton of files and found it, I guess.

The llm found the file that was encrypted with an older password that the guy could remember. The llm didnt decrypt anything or find a vulnrability, it just found an older fill the guy could unlock and he gained access to his bitcoin wallet that way.
