Woke up to find 0.106427 BTC stolen from my Hashcows account. It went to the same address that stole everyone else's. I even had my withdraw limit set to 0.5 BTC, but it was changed to auto at the same time the person changed the address.

I have never had any of the pools or exchanges I frequent ever have my account hacked. Even the lowly two-bit operations. I use a different password and PIN at each site too.

40 BTC seems like a lot for this site to be able to cover in reimbursements due to its own security flaws (which it clearly was since so many were affected). I certainly hope I get paid back, but not holding my breath either. It must be very tempting to simply close down the site and not pay $25,000+ dollars worth of coin to users because of the site's security problems. That's if Hashcows even has enough funds to pay people to begin with.

Needless to say, I will not mine on the site or any other future pools that might be created by Hashcows team until I am fully reimbursed. If I am, I will gladly come back.
