Recently, Austrian Police reported that cyber thieves transferred Bitcoins worth more than 100, 000 euros($177,000) from a victim’s wallet. As reported by CBS news, the 36-year old unnamed man had connected to a restaurant’s public wireless network southeast of the city of Innsbruck, Austria. The theft happened after he had logged in to check the value of his currency.
However, police were unable to identify whether the victim’s computer had already been hacked before logging in to the unsecured network. The police further said that the bitcoins had been transferred to an “unknown, non-traceable account.”
