Well ,a t least we know that there was a genuine hack happening on inputs.info.
Before the other "hack".
What do you mean? There were multiple hacks?Before the other "hack".
Why didn't TF respond on the first hack then?
Maybe with the first user reporting a hack , or a phishing scam he got the idea of the final "hack".
And i do believe that it wasn't a real hack , just him running away.
HE , SHE , IT???
the only thing that is certain right now is that "he" can afford some very good lawyers.
i think the dox was acquired via a hosting provider.

Light clients like Electrum still give you full and exclusive control of your private key. So there really is no excuse.
Yes. and I think there are others. I used qt as an example because I knew that one for sure. The important thing is who has control of the private keys. It's crazy how many people set up a wallet at some random website then let their bitcoin grow to $10k. That kind of money should be backed up and kept offline in a safe deposit box. However inputs.io's advantage was zero-fee instant transactions between users and services.
TANSTAAFL
No doubt it lacked a trustful and/or competent operator, but it could have worked.
Yup, next time it will be different
No, if it was legit company with physical assets bigger than stored BTC value, it could work

I know running the QT client is a big hassle. The constant downloading, the file size, etc. But unless you are running a full client you are trusting someone. The bitcoin economy is still fetal and does not have trustworthy entities yet. While the owner of a business may be trustworthy, he/she is not in a position to offer you a guarantee. If a theft or a mistake looses the businesses coins, you are screwed.
Try keeping all your coins under your direct control. Use a full client that maintains your private keys and back it up. No one cares more about your BTC than you do.

I feel bad for the guy, he took WELL over a million dollar loss
I see a good amount of BTC transferred out of my inputs account as well from, 15Ctwosw7VCNHp5Rp1ZoviLaV41nZ59spx.
Oh well, lol. Good thing I wasn't storing too much there.

yeah, the situation is pretty bad, from the looks of it. here is an article (quoted below) that compiles a lot of the information from TF and news stories. sorry this happened, all.

Multiple scam accusation threads have popped up on the forum, accusing TradeFortress of orchestrating the alleged hack, and stealing the bitcoins his user base had on deposit.
...
Many in the bitcoin community have complained that TradeFortress’s explanations regarding how the attack was carried out—or lack thereof—have been insufficient. They have also questioned the security decision to maintain the entirety of bitcoins held by inputs.io in a “hot wallet” connected to the internet on a virtual server. On the latter point, users have pointed out that such decisions could make for an easy scapegoat for an alleged hack, as these vulnerabilities are what led to the theft of about 43,000 bitcoins from Bitcoinica in 2012.

That was before when only the people that had the api enabled got hacked, now the whole website got hacked and he lost all the coins...

Over 4000btc were lost. So i guess TF would give more priority to those who have lost 1BTC and above.

I contacted the [email protected] but i only got the 0.03 what was left in wallet
I asked they about the stolen coins but i didnt get and reply from they.Im waiting they.
I lost less an 1 BTC of my account, I hope TF refund me that small quantity.
That's a really sad story.
