After translation from google, seems that a Chinese exchange called 796 was hacked out of 1,000 BTC, by hackers switching the deposit (or withdrawal) address.. or something to that effect. "... after detailed analysis of various logs and audit records, we found the system to update a few days ago the existence of sub-module exploited by hackers, causing the user to mention the current address has been tampered with, coupled with hackers deliberately used a similar address with the original withdrawals address to confuse users and our manual review." Here is the google translation link I used. https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=zh-CN&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2F8btc.com%2Fthread-13689-1-1.html&sandbox=1

Thanks i remember never using 796 but that it is the only other exchange besides havelock to have had any Asicminer shares for trading after Btct and bitfunder shut down. It's strange though I don't see it on 796 as a news bulletin but it was on weibo so thanks for the note Thanks mate That's pretty shocking if true, surprised that Coindesk hasn't picked this up yet
Language barrier it's a Chinese exchange they will catch it soon enough I bet.

We have been tracking the progress. Hacker replaced the customer's withdrawal address with his own address. 796 will compensate the customer with shareholder's interest.

796 is futures trade site. Most people there are just gamblers, speculating at 20x or even 50x original rate.

In weibo (Chinese version of Twitter), some has argued it might be the user himself who did the job.

When the f*ck will people learn, and stop keeping large amounts of money at exchanges. Especially shitty, small, non-transparent, obscure, unproven, or lacking-solid-reputation ones.
The only two exchanges I would currently trust my money with, are Kraken and Bitstamp. And then still, why the hell would I be keeping my money there if it's much safer in my own wallet.
Get this, people: EXCHANGES ARE NOT BANKS OR SAVING ACCOUNTS!

Quite disappointing it took them this long to notice it, did they just think nobody was making deposits anymore?
