How come we never hear about Ameritrade getting hacked or one of the big online stockbrokers?  Maybe these fledgling bitcoin "exchanges" need to consult with how those guys do it, because this is getting ridiculous.

From their recent tweets, one might conclude that their host is at fault Tongue

Proper communication on this one so far, though. Informative downtime message Smiley
But yeah, it's a pity they're the ones with a breach again

So it was OVH they say. Slush is turning into a sort of early warning system, he got hit first in that Bitcoinica hack too.

For fuck's sake.

They knew they were going to be a target.  Their customers knew that if they couldn't secure one service operated by Paymium then it was unwise to believe that their other services were safe.

This is starting to get really annoying - second time they are compromised, BTC24 f@cked up, Bitfloor terminated, MtGox DDoSed, bitcoin.de with issues, BTC-e compromised too...

BIPS and WalletBit are still doing just fine Cool WalletBit is the only service of its type still running since June 2011 and BIPS is its successor (free Bitcoin processing).

One does not simply panic buy when Bitcoin Central has one's fiat Tongue

Ouch, sorry. At least it's safe; the French government is very well capitalised...Oh wait.

And still we rally.  As was said on TV today, only now is when the ~good~ entrepreneurs start to get into the space. Remember:

    Keep Calm   
          and
     Panic Buy

What the?! Again?!
That's what I thought. Good thing I got 4/5th of my coins out of there for exactly this reason.

Last time I also asked them about our Euros there, which are said to be insured by the French government up to €100k. Their reply was basically that "fraudulent euro transactions involve banks and will be noticed before any harm can be done". Sounds credible... not.
