With all due respect, posting a link to a thread does not solve that problem. This thread or any other, it's still 'outrageous claims', no?

Give us the link then instead of making outrageous claims.

The hacker that took funds from Intersango through a vulnerability has already posted about it on the forums.

Hell, even our own team has been able to poke holes in ExchB, Intersango and TradeHill.

I don't know why these super-small exchanges keep thinking they are bigger than mathematics. There is nothing wrong with admitting a problem with code. It is the first step to fixing it.

The only reason we don't hear about more hacks on mtGox is because people are still doing it and getting rich off of it.

Already hacked. Refresh your list.

Already hacked. Refresh your list.

I wonder who is next.

also have a look here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=17004.100 and here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcoin7com-matching-algorithm-that-steals-money-from-you-37057

Just to be clear, sonba, my post was tongue-in-cheek. There were many red flags posted.

Well, going through this thread (and others) there are several people (e.g. TradeHill, Beastmanguy, bbit, myself (mainly on a different thread, though)) who warned of Bitcoin7.com. I guess the main reason why most people didn't write about it any more was because they stopped using Bitcoin7.com.

If you search through the forum you will find the parent cmopany, though. As far as I can remember it was a bigger software company, mainly producing games (?). So you can write them directly, if you lost money. What I found on a quick search was "AbuDhabi 2010" LTD, 130 Simeonovsko Shosse, Sofia, Bulgaria and "the US operations performed by "Risk Asset Management" LLC, a company registered in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA". But I know that there was more posted in the early posts when bitcoin7.com just started, including a message from the owner of the company.
Good luck with getting your money back!

Damn it! Why didn't more people on this forum ask more questions? Why were they given a free ride? I just don't understand. No clues what-so-ever that this may be a bad site. NONE!

I was good at predicting things hey ? 

bbit, you don't the slightest idea what you're talking about. They're located in Bulgaria, where the viral blockchain dance started:

Well tweet it, post it everything else it's a polished site but a complete rip.
If you look at it under the faq you'll see it even says "incorporated in Chile" which is where we (TradeHill) are incorporated.
Seriously please spread the word. Things like this are horrible for Bitcoin.
Even if he's not just there to steal your btc do you really want to use a site that stole their entire text?

I do take it as a compliment though 

Seriously, please spread this and compare the two for your self if you doubt it.

be wary people  before you start dropping hard earned cash into things!

Dear User,
Please read carefully the following critical announcement.

On Oct 5th 2011 Bitcoin7.com became the victim of a number of pre-planned hacker attacks. While our investigation is still going, evidence reveals that the attacks originated from Russia and Eastern Europe.

The attack itself took action not only against the bitcoin7.com server but also against other websites and servers which were part of the same network. Eventually the hackers managed to breach into the network which subsequently lead to a major breach into the bitcoin7.com website.

As a result of the hacking, unknown individuals managed to gain full access to the site's main bitcoin depository/wallet and 2 of the 3 backup wallets.

In addition the hackers gained access to our user database.

Even though our faith in the bitcoin project and community remains as strong as it ever was, it is our responsibility to admit that the scale of the damage is far beyond our financial and physical capabilities.

This is why we have decided to cease the operation of bitcoin7.com and instead of investing in new technology and personnel that could possibly help us overcome this unfortunate situation, we decided that we'd rather gather all possible finances through all possible means and initiate a crisis plan for reimbursing the lost balances of our users.

This is also an open invitation to all interested investors which have interest in taking over the site at the only cost of recovering the stolen bitcoins.

The crisis plan will take action over the next 90 days. On behalf of the management of bitcoin7.com we want to apologize for this extremely stressful situation.

More specific updates will follow within the next 24 hours with detailed instructions about how to withdraw your funds.

I suspect that they have a MtGox account.
