The day after the developers called their online gambling application the safest of its kind, it was stolen 40,000 EOS, that is approximately $200,000 at the exchange rate on September 17. Hackers stole money from eosbet Bank because of a vulnerability in its code.

The application was disabled during the investigation, the remaining 463 745 EOS are safe. At the moment the problem in system was eliminated, and the program functions again.

While I'm not a big believer in EOS I don't think this is a major issue. 200k is a small amount in the grand scheme of things and it seems like the vulnerability was quickly identified and resolved which is a positive thing.
