Re: List of Major Bitcoin Heists, Thefts, Hacks, Scams, and Losses

There's some Bitstamp drama right now. In particular this address seems to contain stolen coins.

Updating with some additional information to the blockchain address

Bitstamp customers can rest assured that their bitcoins held with us as prior to temporary suspension of services on January 5th (at 9am UTC) are completely safe and will be honored in full.

On January 4th, some of Bitstamps operational wallets were compromised, resulting in a loss of less than 19,000 BTC. Upon learning of the breach, we immediately notified all customers that they should no longer make deposits to previously issued bitcoin deposit addresses. As an additional security measure, we suspended our systems while we fully investigate the incident and actively engage with law enforcement officials.

As an aside it makes the top 3 (Not the best start to 2015)

I think it is still too early to call this hack to be over. When bitstamp reopens, it is possible the size of the hack could be extended when they refill their hot wallet and/or the process of having to tap funds from cold storage multiple times.

it's too early becouse we don't have our money back yet. Really hope that list on first post don't need to be updated with this Sad
