Bitstamp Claims Roughly 19,000 BTC Lost in Hot Wallet Hack

http://www.coindesk.com/bitstamp-claims-roughly-19000-btc-lost-hot-wallet-hack

So it was true, still not a huge blow.

Nejc handled it well. Hope they learn something out of it.

Mind providing the source from where the statement initially came from?

Weird silence from stamp. Statement to journalist speaks to me they were pressed for answers.

If you're having security issues you might want to wait till they are all plugged before you tell the world about them in full.

The statement suggests it will take days before the site's online again. Quoting

We are working to transfer a secure backup of the Bitstamp site onto a new safe environment and will be bringing this online in the coming days.

If you still didn't get out of Bitcoin by now then you're just asking to lose your money.

It's over. Do the right thing and take what little money is left and move on.

If the Bitcoin economy survives we are going to have the toughest security systems on the planet. Stress-testing of banking systems? Blah! Try doing anything in bitcoin and you will see how tiny your nuts are.

The decentralized dream seems to only lead to scam and anarchy right now. People being smart enough to take care of their own money without insurance and regulation...meh. A bad move and you're cooked. No wonder people starts to think centralized is not so bad after all.

This doesn't look good.

Originally they said an operational wallet was an issue, now it's 'some of Bitstamp’s operational wallets were compromised'.

If they have the cover in cold storage, maybe they can pull through?

Happy New Year to crypto currencies  Angry

Speechless.  Bitcoin's premiere exchanges can't secure their coin, but Bob the Plumber's is totally safe.  Long as it's airgapped from the intertubes.

Stupid stupid stupid to keep over 10% online. When you're a high profile target it's better to process manually and keep users happy.  Why does every crypto business has to be so retarded?

Where are the decentralized P2P exchanges? Let's build and support!

OK, but do I get to hold all the fiat, or how does that work?

do you think it is better to change in ripple/altcoins?

They are dying faster than Bitcoin. If Bitcoin has no value then the altcoins definitely has no value.

Selling your BTC at a huge loss for centralised ripple really is the only logical conclusion right now. 9/10 ponzi's would agree.

Fundamentals don't matter in a speculative market. They just don't. If anything I am impressed that ripple stayed strong while bitcoin continues to plummet.

It is ridiculous that somebody calls bitcoin decentralized while pointing fingers at XRP. Just insane.

Yes, cripple is doing much much better than bitcoin, haha, good one Grin
You know every crypto will die when bitcoin dies don't you?
