BTCT.com hacked and lost 107 btc

[LuaPod]

This is getting ridiculous. Would be cool to have some kind of graphics or statistic about stolen coins in similar services. I think im going to have everything in Bitcoin QT and forget about it. Too much risk.

Here is a statistic that sticks pretty well for most people:

 Over nine thousand

waw why it could happen? 

should they do not keep a lot in the one bitcoin address

[coinvesting]

That's absolutely brutal.

I imagine it was an inside job but who knows.

That's why I keep my private keys in my own possession.

Hate it when reading this. I hope they track down the thief and recover back the coins.

I have 1 bitcoin on that server. Almost EVERY btc exchange hack is the stupidity of the creator and programmer.  


PASSWORD WILL REMAIN THE PREVIOUS SAID FOR A MONTH

BOLD !!!

I have spent a year racking my brain on this. I have pretty good confidence in it's security and stability (Except that the webserver currently doesn't have ddos protection turned on)

So much faith that even with the authentication given out I believe that it is safe still.

SCAM ARTIST JUSTIN FROM OPENEX, ICEYSCRYPT AND BITBAY

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. ACTUALLY JUST DONT USE IT

I also suspect he ran Mt.Gox

8btc report:
BTCT.com is a bitpay-like website in China, featuring online hashrate trade.
As per the official statement, hacker hacked the wallet server and use RPC command to dump private key and then get away with coins.

Currently the merchant page is down only with the statement on its frontpage.
20 btc bounty was placed to hunt down the hacker.

I'm not surprised with this news.
It seems nothing is 100 % secure online today.
This is risk we have to accept by using online services.

then, how do you keep it? Offline wallet ??
I think, sometimes it's a little long transaction. and possible blockhain also vulnerable to hackers

The problem with Bitcoin is that you will never know whether it was an inside job or not..... lol... even the Mt Gox robbery is not solved to this date, although many believe that all the coins were stolen by that fat greedy guy.

[CryptoGains]

I wonder how could these websites/exchanges still not be serious about security after several incidents already happened and everybody knows about it.

They are very serious, however bugs often slip through and are discovered by hackers who exploit them unfortunately.

I don't really see how ethnicity is relevant here. Also you might want to spell your slurs correctly.

And sometimes the 'hackers' are the people that run the exchange.

Not that I have any particular knowledge about this particular firm, nor incident. Just sayin'.
