"A New York City firefighter named Dwayne Richards was recently held up, stabbed and robbed by thieves who were after his bitcoin, the Observer has learned. From what we’ve discovered, Mr. Richards—who is a firefighter in lower Manhattan—was mugged and left bleeding after meeting the robbers under the pretense of exchanging bitcoin for cash in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. He’s alive, well, and refusing comment.

"

Edit for clarification: Be careful meeting anyone and doing business with them, especially if they know you carry large amounts of value on your person, be it BTC/Money/Material items.

Hackers didn't think like us ;
` Everything was made up by people that were no smarter than you ` ; Then you can understand that hacking bitcoin
who was mading by Satoshi is not impassible . Everything is exploitable else God .

Everything is exploitable including the god , people use god's name to do bad things that's exploiting
Anyways You just need to follow some steps to keep yourself safe from these hacks--

1. Always keep most of your coins in a safe wallet in a different pc w/o net connection
2. keep changing the password of the hot wallet and avoid clicking unneccessary links
3. Do not keep your coins in exchange , no matter what insurance they provide , trade it and get it out
4. Do not trust ANYONE

These are the basic rules, but I would like to know how much person "are following"these simple rules. I think only the 60-70 % of who have some coins (bitcoin or altcoin).

there is a complete "List of Major Bitcoin Heists, Thefts, Hacks, Scams, and Losses" which i found in my bookmarks. it is kind of a history book on bitcoin
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/list-of-major-bitcoin-heists-thefts-hacks-scams-and-losses-576337

Quite confusing. They converted the actual BTC to January 2014 BTC?

For example, Stefan Thomas lost BTC7,000 and the loss is listed as BTC163 in January 2014 BTC.

It is most probably based on price. The price at the time of hack is lower than the price now. It is converted from USD to BTC instead of using just actual BTC stolen since it would be a slightly smaller hack then than now.

People need to stop trusting others with their coins and adopt better security. Most people never lose any coins and decentralized exchanges will put a stop to large thefts which is the way we need to go.

How many decentralized exchanges are there? And how many of them are reliable? Right now, Bitcoin is in its infancy. These problems will persist for many more years. There is no easy shortcut to avoid these issues.

Honestly I've only heard 2 real Decentralized exchanges that are forthcoming, so until this is the norm, centralized BTC and Crypto exchanges rule the roost.

These 2:

https://bitsquare.io/

Don't see these 2 launching or lifting off anytime soon, so decentralized exchanges aren't really an option for the majority of traders.

Security is still the biggest stumbling to Bitcoin.

Agreed. If the hacks occur so often and on such massive scale (a la the BTC850,000 hack from Mt Gox), then BTC will never go mainstream. And unlike bank robberies, Bitcoin thieves are seldom caught.

Exchanges, hacked; funds, hacked; Gamebling sites, hacked; Personal wallet, hacked. There is no one that hacked can't hack.

No you are wrong, bitcoin is secure the third part services like exchange, gambling site, etc... aren't secure. Please don't tell stupid things. Bitcoin is based on math, do you believe that math isn't strong now ? Think with your own head.

People are protecting their money with their FaceBook passwords. Nothing mysterious about it.

This plus most of the hacking incidents are the same owners of the exchanges bailing out and running with the money.

Hmm not really. This isn't a good statement unless proven. I doubt the owners of mt gox and Bter is the same. They may very well be inside employees or perhaps an actual hack.

Wallets allow these wallets however only numeric or only alphabetic passwords sre not allowed . They just use one numeric valu or alphabet alongwith passwords i.e password1, 12345a
