Bitstamp lost 18K BTC. https://blockchain.info/address/1L2JsXHPMYuAa9ugvHGLwkdstCPUDemNCf

that means around of 4,8 MIL. USD

what's next? Bitcoin price will go down....

After the price crash, this is another blow to Bitcoin.  Sad  Bitstamp fucked up, but what can I believe now? Cold wallet,maybe.

lots of these addresses are active, seems, and are receiving and sending to multiple addresses

high transaction fees suggest they convincing  miners to move stolen coin while the

addresses are still highly visible also they may be employing a 3rd party mixing service

They should publish a text explaining what's happening

explaining what? WE didn't care about you, fouls? Smiley

BitStamp is down for sure. why? they have two options:

1. they cover the loss but their credibility will be almost zero anyway.who will deposit money into a former hacked system? maybe in time...but time is money and i am sure Bitstamp won't resist on market with all their monthly expenses which are not small at all.

2. they close the business and keep the rest of the money. very simple to do it.

What would gox 2.0 do to bitcoin?  Grin

18k < 650k , its still a ton though why do they need 18k coins in a hot wallet do people really withdraw that much in a few days lets say?

because they think they are GODS and nothing bad can happen to them. they think that they are beyond monkeys like "us"...

They are just two kids(owners) who are running/playing the people's money.

Of course, their clients have their own fault. They must make their due diligence before making any investment.

https://www.bitstamp.net/

site offline

from the Bitstamp frontpage


Bitstamp Service Temporarily Suspended

We have reason to believe that one of Bitstamp’s operational wallets was compromised on January 4th, 2015.

As a security precaution against compromises Bitstamp only maintains a small fraction of customer bitcoins in online systems. Bitstamp maintains more than enough offline reserves to cover the compromised bitcoins.

IN THE MEANTIME, PLEASE DO NOT MAKE DEPOSITS TO PREVIOUSLY ISSUED BITCOIN DEPOSIT ADDRESSES. THEY CANNOT BE HONORED!

Customer deposits made prior to January 5th, 2015 9:00 UTC are fully covered by Bitstamp’s reserves. Deposits made to newly issued addresses provided after January 5th, 2015 9:00 UTC can be honored.

Bitstamp takes our security and soundness very seriously. In an excess of caution, we are suspending service as we continue to investigate. We will return to service and amend our security measures as appropriate.

I hope none of you numpties have a ton of Bitcoin in that exchange regardless of whether they're honest or not, the losses happen because people think they can just leave their money lying around in online wallets.

This.  Exchanges are not banks, but people treat them that way.

SHIT!   Sad

Don't tell me the new "Goxed" is you've been "Stamped".

Why does this have to happen to the biggest Bitcoin exchanges?

Things like this shouldn't happen in the first place with the right security protocols in place.

Just unreal news to start the new year...

Looks like we don't have to worry about bitstamp
Since they already secure customers to cold wallet

And since bitcoin have a lot exchangers
So, even bitstamp can't be used it won't affect bitcoin price Smiley

I'm sure this won't become second MtGox


http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2re2pw/18864_coins_stolen_from_stamp_that_doesnt_look/

it seems to be a loss of millions. 14% from their coins.

this is not a small loss. I am very curious if they will cover it Smiley
