How do pools secure their bitcoins?  Well mostly pools are holding other people's bitcoins. Why bother securing them?   (The answer: pretty poorly.)

Why bother securing them? Just concerned about attackers getting into the pool's bitcoind (if that's how they manage the keys), or if an attacker manages to ride your user session.

Do you think this isn't something I should worry about? I saw that some pools were hacked last night and the compensation came out of the pool owner's pocket :s
