This is ridiculous. Hard to believe that such a huge exchange would allow this to happen. Do they know what went wrong at the moment? Wonder if it's another inside job like I'm assuming gox was?

I agree it is ridiculous.

Once again an exchange holding tens of millions of customer funds can't properly secure their user's funds on their own servers.

Pretty pathetic. It is one thing to have a bug in the protocol of bitcoin that allows this to happen and another to have the bug reside on your system implementation.

Once again it is either incompetence or laziness.

Gox part 2 for now.
