DESCRIPTION OF EVENTS
"Luke Dashjr, a developer who works on Bitcoin Core, the technology and security behind the cryptocurrency, has lost over 200 Bitcoins in an apparent hack."
It's well known that I run Gentoo on a Talos II with everything self compiled
they got it all, including a brand new 2FA I made the same day.
(Besides, as someone already pointed out, the wallets weren't on my main system.)

Talos II? It seems likely you were a victim of CVE-2019-15847 : The random number generator of Power9 (DARN instruction) was broken with GCC ->
If your main system (Talos II) was using a weak RNG then your private ssh keys could be compromised relatively easy, allowing the bad guys to get access to any device where you had ssh access. Once they got access they could have installed any backdoor or malicious software.
Bitcoin core developer Luke Dashjr experienced a significant loss at the start of the new year, reportedly losing over 200 BTC in a hack. Dashjr revealed on Twitter that his PGP key was compromised, leading to the theft of many bitcoins. The stolen bitcoins were transferred to a wallet address using the Bitcoin mixer CoinJoin in four transactions, totaling approximately 216.93 BTC, equivalent to $3.6 million. In November, Dashjr's server was accessed by an unknown individual using new malware/backdoors, and on Christmas day, the server was reaccessed, resulting in the successful theft of over 200 Bitcoins. Binance CEO CZ expressed sympathy and pledged to freeze the funds if they come to Binance, sparking discussions in the crypto community about the risks and challenges of self-custody.
