This is one reason why I don't store my bitcoins on exchanges or in other hosted wallets. I am completely unaffected. Hopefully this event will knock some sense into some people.
And while I'm on the subject ... sometime in the next few months, the wallet of some major site will be hacked and a bunch of people are going to lose all of there bitcoins. You heard it here first.
Wait, What? Did something important happen? I didn't notice. My client says everything is fine.
