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.

I wouldn't say they're 'latching' on, but this is currently the biggest news in crypto business. Shame it's mostly been bad the past week.

The BBC has had a few fairly positive articles out the last few weeks. Shames this had to come so soon after all the other recent trouble. I'm calling shenanigans on this so called theft though.

Lol. Those crooks have stolen their customers' money again and now they say it was malleability hack

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