You must remember to be unsure of anyone's statements; the means of communication is trustless, think about it.

The reason Veri was targeted probably had a LOT to do with the VeriBit protocol being abused.

The developers of VRC might have paid off mintpal to not disclose this, and mintpal would have obliged because it basically means neither party has to claim responsibility.

This is just putting two and two together; why wouldn't any other coin be taken? Why wouldn't the hackers just target Bitcoin?

If you choose to believe what you are told from the people that are solely responsible, be my guest; there are plenty of blue pills to go around.

As for me, I'll choose the red one.

Makes one wonder.

In either case, it's by far the safest to get your coins off the internet.

And then to backup your wallet and private keys properly.

Check out the How-to's on the website for instructions on keeping your XC safe.

(This how-to will be updated later today to reflect the latest wallet version; however backup instructions remain identical.)
