Europe’s primary bitcoin payment processor for merchants and free online wallet service, BIPS, was the target of a major DDoS attack and subsequent theft in the past few days that saw 1,295 BTC (just over $1m on CoinDesk’s BPI) stolen.

Hopefully these processors, companies start adding more security around attacks.  Constant attacks like this will cause an issue for BTC in the long run!
