[elyas772]

Bitcoin plunged, then erased losses Wednesday as one of the largest exchanges halted trading because hackers stole about $65 million of the digital currency.

Bitcoin was little changed against the dollar as of 10:03 a.m. on Wednesday in New York, after sinking as much as 15 per cent. Prices dropped 7.8 per cent on Tuesday after declining 6.2 per cent Monday.
