Title: [2014-02-14] BBC.co.uk - Silk Road 2 loses $2.7m in bitcoins in alleged hack Post by: Mowcore on February 14, 2014, 01:50:59 PM and the beeb latches on to the recent SR 2.0 "hack" like a leech on heat with no time to spare!
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-26187725 Quote The anonymous online marketplace Silk Road 2 says it has been hacked resulting in the loss of all its customers' bitcoins. An administrator for the site said hackers had manipulated computer code enabling them to withdraw $2.7m (£1.6m) worth of the virtual currency. It follows similar attacks on two exchanges that trade in bitcoins earlier in the week.

Shame it's mostly been bad the past week.

Shames this had to come so soon after all the other recent trouble. I'm calling shenanigans on this so called theft though.

It's perfect excuse for ripping customers and I hope Gox and Stamp won't do the same. |
