I woke up this morning and checked my phone to see the coindesk index (
http://www.coindesk.com/price) up by 23%. From $354 to $435.
Not even a gradual climb, straight up 90 degrees.
Immediately I logged onto my laptop to look at the website.
It seems like this is an error as all the other exchanges that the index is based off of are still around the $355 mark.
Hovering over the information icon, it showed LakeBtc price as around $650, which I deemed as fake when actually visiting the LakeBtc site itself.
So this was obviously an error. What happened here? Accidental software bug? Or was this something more deliberate? manipulation? They got hacked?
