Mt. Gox was hacked
Bitstamp was hacked
Poloniex was hacked
Vircurex was hacked
Bter was hacked
etc.


And now: www.bter.com

Quote from: http://www.bter.com
7170 BTC got stolen from our cold wallet in this transaction:

https://blockchain.info/tx/f5b0363f03e1ed8bb812c135361ea93590c831ce9f13a3750be1b93575baccc6


When will people learn that you DO NOT store your coins on an exchange?
Transfer, trade, then withdraw your coins to your own wallet asap! Always.


My guess: People will never learn, they are too used to think about saving money as giving it all to a bank.


hint: by hacked I mean that the exchanges said they were hacked, which can mean different things.
