Steam Key Trading Bot: Coinbase Glitch Caused Missed Bitcoin Payments

KeyVendor.net, a bot for trading bitcoin keys used by the Steam entertainment platform, was not able to pay some customers their bitcoin a few days ago on account of a glitch at Coinbase, according to a notice KeyVendor posted on steamcommunity.com.
The problem has been resolved, and KeyVendor paid everyone their missing bitcoin an extra 10% for the inconvenience, totaling about $210 extra.
Coinbase was exploited and keys and bitcoin were stolen from the KeyVendor bot, totaling $15,000. Coinbase handled the problem within two days, according to Key.Vendor.net.
