Ancient news.  I thought this was great news in that a Bitcoin business was smart enough to limit their losses to what is effectively chump-change.  This was one of the relatively few attacks which I hold the victim almost completely devoid of responsibility.  There is not much he could have done to thwart the attack, and even so he lost what is very likely only a nuisance fraction of his BTC due, I'm sure, to good planning and execution.  Nice to see Bitcoin businesses growing up!
sig spam anywhere and self-moderated threads on the pol&soc board are for losers.
