If it's true, then it's a concerning news.
Hackers attacks happen all the time, we know that, however this is a huge amount of Bitcoin and consequences could be larger.
This cass also shows that people don't care enough about security and awarness about security meassures is too low. To keep such amount of coins at just one place is really reckless decision.

It's hard to believe stories like this. It could have been staged by the owner to run away from obligations (i.e. taxes). Who would really store a huge amount on their mobile phone? And to say that he is a security expert makes it even worse. If it were true, did he really asked for the miners to rollback?

I quite wonder if only the whales encountered this kind of hacking losing too much on their funds? Because if it is not, then it should create a massive news concerning flaws to the system they are using, and if and only whales are the ones being affected by these kind of hacking then it is quite possible that the owner of the address is already a long term target of the hacker, and the flaws and responsibility is not from the hacker but also from the owner who doesn't take good care of his/her account very well.

So another lesson to be learned from this thread is that, depending on how big amount of funds you have, you should also have stronger security to improve and develop such as using different security features provided by the platforms, and utilizing hardware wallets.

Obviously reading something like this is a concern that can still happen again and the value is quite fantastic. is it just because of negligence? I don't feel that until there is definitely something else not yet known. hopefully it can be revealed.

Another sim hacked? this is huge and I don't know what to say either if ever I'm on that situation.
Can an expert explain how did the hacker got his funds?

He claim to be a security expert  Huh.

He's not expert, since it's not first time according to https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@hacker0/how-i-hacked-hundreds-of-bitcoins-ama
This is great, I'm reading the article now and his website was mentioned there. Thanks!

He was reported to be the owner of https://bitcoinbuilder.com/ and the attack vector is SIM hacked.
I really don't know what to say, BTC is already on the move and have been split already. He claim to be a security expert  Huh.

RIP BTC and BCH. Very very expensive lessons to learnt.

That is a very bad news for the market. This news might affect the price of Bitcoin. I am amazed by the increasing number of attacks by hackers now day. It has become so common.

This can be an insider's job, if you look into the amount that was stolen.
