Can't say I'm surprised. These forks are prime targets for hack. With a hack like this, the price is definitely going to plummet. Hopefully there are not a lot of people who are holding this coin. People should make sure to be careful about the coins that they invest in. There will be a lot of burned investors from this who will be losing a whole lot of money due to this hack.

It appears Bitcoin Gold (BTG) has been double spend attacked over and over again, totalling something in the neighborhood of $18 million at current prices. BTG forums seem to have been tracking the hack, going as far back as last week, monitoring the controversial coin’s hashrate, ultimately determining a 51% attack was under way.
