Hackers exposed more information about El Salvador’s state-run Bitcoin wallet, Chivo, on April 23 after publicly leaking the personal data of its millions of users earlier this month.

Hacker group CiberInteligenciaSV released part of the software wallet’s source code on BreachForums – a black hat hacking forum.

Chivo’s rollout began with a rocky start as users reported many software bugs and technical glitches afflicting the software. Some failed to receive a free $30 for downloading the wallet that the President promised them, while others had trouble withdrawing their money from Chivo ATMs.
