Can someone explain how is it possible to hack cold wallet? I thought cold wallet means offline and secure I'll check in my pocket if I chase them back
Now what will happen? Will they refund all their "customers"? What do you think? I don't think they'll do a full refund. Sorry for anyone who had stored their funds there.

I thought cold wallet means offline and secure Two days ago I had been trying to withdraw about 1.7 BTC from Bter and had to wait for almost two hours for the exchange to finally process my withdrawal (yeah, writing on the wall). As I got it, they were gutting their cold wallet...

So bad.
That's why we need decentralization exchanges.

Why should it drop actually? Thousands of bitcoins are frozen right now (and other altcoins as well), the wallet of the thief is "dirty" now, so as soon as he begins spending, he will be tracked down pretty easily (read he won't be able to spend the stolen coins any time soon, if ever)...

What if the thief destroys the stolen coins? Would it be better or worse than keeping them for the later use?

Like I posted in another thread, at least 5 private keys was compromised from so called "cold storage". When you trace back, these "cold" addys, they where clearly not cold at all, they had 7K in their hot wallet! A first year grad student in Information Security can do better than that. At least bitstamp did not have all the freaking coins in their hot wallet.

The big question now is whether they got their altcoins stolen too or not. Most of my funds were in NuShares and I only had like 6 bitcoins in bter. Did the thief also steal altcoins? Will customers get their altcoins back intact?

Why do the exchanges not use the multiSig function ? 7k? isnt that one of the china exchanger? how do someone chase that coin back? even if we trace it back, we cant do anything , only the one with the private key will be able to get into the wallet isnt it?

I assume the intruders got root access, I do not see how else they could get 5 different private keys at the same time.

What , they can track him to his home once he start sending Bitcoins ? I guess that Bitcoin isn't that annonymus after all , is it ? Personally I don't buy it anyway , I mean any exchanger can simply take time developping a website , run it for couple of years , get trust of people then simply and at the end of the day , he make an HTML page that says "oh we got hacked , bye bye" . I mean ... It could simply be an inside job and no one will know anything about it at all. ~ Madness
