Code-Breaking Challenge #1: Bank Heist Stage 2 of 5 - What is My Name? (>4 SBD Prizes)

Bank Heist: Stage 2 of 5 - What is My Name?

The Codebreaking Challenge is Steemit's first puzzle-solving and code-breaking game designed by me (@wilfredn). It's a real-time game that will have you competing and collaborating with other players to solve a puzzle and progress to the next stage. Compete for a prize pool that grows in size as more players join in the fun.

The final stage puzzle will be released on Saturday, 24 Feb 2018, 17:00 UTC.


After solving the first puzzle, Ted McConnor noted down the seed word in the decrypted message. A week went by until he received a second message.

His real name? How did they figure out his real first name? Who are they?


Find the Secret Key, which is [seed word from last stage] [solution to this stage's puzzle]. Solve the following encrypted message on AES Encryption Website:

Hint: full name please. Remember also that the Secret Key is always in lowercase.

You'll need this: AES Encryption Website.

Good luck! Remember to follow the rules (upvote, resteem, follow!) and instructions.

You need to solve all the previous stages to get the seed word for this puzzle. If this is your first time playing, start at Stage 1 (use the codebreaker tag to find all the posts)!
