online wallets are about as safe as giving money to your distant cousin whom you rarely see or never seen face to face.

you may know them by name, have heard all about how responsible they are and how qualified they are through friends, family or just google searching their name.

but ask yourself would you really give more then a couple hundred dollars to your cousin?

Always best to keep things locally - why trust a web site unnecessarily?

Made myself a nice thread over here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=590807

April 30th. The previous hack happened around January or February.

Read around or do a search for lost BTC and you will see that the majority who have lost BTC were using online wallets.

Yes you are right, there are stories of hacked accounts and some even lose thousands.

Read the story in that link and it is alarming that even those wallet that should be secured are being hacked. Even those with very small balance/amount.

Okay, taking note of all the tips on here.
I hope that as BTC is getting older in the web, there will be more secured places for it.
