Guys, am I the only one thinking this event and the latest price fall are all subtly linked together? We've been this before. IMO, Bitstamp team has something to do with this "hack" thing. Smiley

It would make sense, maybe an employee or owner with knowledge of the hack dumping their coins before news hits?or other more obvious answers. Who knows.

That could be, the question now is - how stamp will resolve the situation, that would determine how market responds.

And yeah, agree with Jeff, this is an irresistible attraction to any hacker out there, so exchanges must have much better security than fiat banks do - as they are, in fact, banks which have network interfaces open to public where they send and receive money.

Besides, this explain why they told users to not send funds to their old addresses.

I would like to point to the possibility of Bitstamp losing their wallet.dat of their hot wallet server to a hacker, a wallet.dat in a daemon server is usually not encrypted, so that explains the new transaction...

source ? I was just reading Jeff Garzik tweets(a Core developer and Bitpay employee) about securing a single valuable file (wallet.dat) and how this changed the whole IT  security scene, and this made me think about this possibility.







I know that some of you take me as a bear troll, but at this point I am sincerely worried about the effect this can leave on Bitcoin in general.
