El Salvador's experiment with Bitcoin as legal tender is hitting another snag, and this time, it's a major security breach. Hackers have exposed yet another layer of the Chivo wallet, the government-backed app used by Salvadorans to store their Bitcoin.

This isn't the first rodeo for these digital bandits. Earlier this month, they leaked the personal information of a staggering 5.1 million Chivo users – nearly the entire adult population of El Salvador. Now, they've upped the ante, releasing part of the Chivo wallet's source code and VPN access credentials.

Think of the source code as the secret recipe for the Chivo app. With this information in the wrong hands, hackers could potentially discover vulnerabilities and exploit them to steal Bitcoin or compromise user accounts. The leaked VPN credentials are like handing over the back door key – they could allow unauthorized access to the Chivo network itself.

The hacker group behind these attacks, CiberInteligenciaSV, seems to be on a mission to expose the Chivo system's flaws. They've even taunted the Salvadoran government, offering the stolen data "for free for you" unless someone wants to "talk."

Meanwhile, the Salvadoran government remains tight-lipped on the issue. Their silence is deafening, especially considering the severity of the data breach.

El Salvador's Bitcoin adventure started with a bang, promising financial inclusion and faster remittances. But with a rocky rollout plagued by glitches and now these major security breaches, the dream of a Bitcoin-powered El Salvador seems to be fading fast. Will the government step up and address these critical issues? Only time will tell, but for now, Saladoran Bitcoin users are left feeling vulnerable and wondering if their Chivo wallets are more like leaky buckets than secure vaults.
