I think there is a good chance this was an inside job, but that doesn't matter for the point I'm going to make.
Do not ever leave all coins open to hot withdrawal. That is just stupid. Incredibly stupid.
If you're building or running a service please take note of this. It doesn't matter how good you think your security is. It only takes one hole. Just one to result in disaster. That's irresponsible.
Services: The majority of coins should always be kept in some secure cold storage. As any auto/hot wallet runs low then move funds into it. If customers complain of delays screw them, they'll appreciate not losing their coins more.
Customers: Check that a service stores the majority of their coins safely offline. Leave if they don't or don't complain when they say they lost everything.

Can anyone explain how this transaction malleability bug can be exploited to steal coins from a Bitcoin address? I thought it can only happen if you are an exchange, like Gox or Stamp, and people are making withdrawals.
I can't explain it to you, because it cannot happen. This is a blatant lie, the OP stole everyone's coins and, as the other poster said, anyone stupid enough to leave coins on a hosted site dedicated to selling illegal products deserves to have their bitcoins stolen.
If you keep your BTC on an illegal goods website run by drug dealers you deserve to get your funds stolen...
Thank you for the most common sense thing ever said on this topic! This should be a 'sig'

Bullshit story. The admins took it.

Yes, those are the Silk Road coins seized by the FBI. This guy is talking about Silk Road 2.
Ah ok, that makes more sense. Thanks.

But the topic is about SilkRoad 2.0
I don't know anything about their bitcoin-address.

Those are the wrong coins. This is SR 2.0 not SR.
Not sure onthe amount of coins stolen, but I don't think it's over 500ish or so based on the withdrawal addresses they disclosed.
Is this why the BTC price is rocketing downwards atm? Because the thief is dumping all the stolen coins?
i don't think so, I just think it's meant to be, doesn't phase me personally... up, down, round and round. Bitcoin has many many many moons ahead of it.
panic ye not.

$18million, who wouldn't be tempted to steal that amount from a litter of junkies?
together with me and babay break the chains of lOOOVOE!!
Whatever happened to the good ol days of just calling up your local drug dealer/pot head to get your drug fix. These online black markets really seem unsafe.
Ouuuu comeOn! They robbed themselves. Don't be fool

either we are looking a system crash, or fraud
Guess this explains why the price dipped a bit.
Glad we got that out of our system.
And yeah, agreed that this is likely just a convenient excuse to make a run for it.

does this mean i'm not getting my new james bond identity and 30000 kalashnikovs, stuffed full of the purest columbian white powder?
How can you possibly withdraw coins due to Transaction Malleability exploit?
I mean, exploit or shitty implementation ?

Good question. That would only be possible if they had automated their dispute resolution system and given their vendors free-for-all access to exploit without limits.
