Bitstamp Claims Roughly 19,000 BTC Lost in Hot Wallet Hack

http://www.coindesk.com/bitstamp-claims-roughly-19000-btc-lost-hot-wallet-hack

So it was true, still not a huge blow.

Nejc handled it well. Hope they learn something out of it.

Mind providing the source from where the statement initially came from?

The statement suggests it will take days before the site's online again. Quoting

We are working to transfer a secure backup of the Bitstamp site onto a new safe environment and will be bringing this online in the coming days.

Weird silence from stamp. Statement to journalist speaks to me they were pressed for answers.

If you're having security issues you might want to wait till they are all plugged before you tell the world about them in full.

It seems like the $5M question is whether Stamp has spare BTC to cover the loss, or do they have to buy some of those 18K btcs in the market to return back to their users.

If they make everyone whole and swallow the loss, I wonder how Stamp users will feel? Do you switch because they were hacked, or do you stay loyal because they made everyone whole even after they fucked up. I mean shit happens, its nice to know that they are willing to take a hit to preserve their users' funds (like Blockchain did when some of their wallets were hacked).

The pump of the last hope to fuckin get out of this mess maybe.

Either way pumping is crucial at this point to keep bitcoin afloat, investors know it i guess.

My guess is that this is because:

a) People are relieved that Stamp said they will honor their user's balance and eat the loss with reserves (first GOX-like event that is handled professionally)

b) Speculators are betting that Stamp will have to buy 18K in the market to cover the lost coins

c) Bitcoin is upside-down crazyland where up is down and left is right (though I have experienced this in other markets too)

Gox was so much cooler.
Getting Goxed rolls off the tongue.
Getting stamped just doesn't have the same effect.

Not really. Indications that something was up started a few days ago it was just not headline news only trickles, dont read too much into it.
