Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

I've just read about a major failiure in blockchain and a big theft of more than 10000 wallets

Link?

That claim may be exaggerated or a hoax, but the wallet site Blockchain.info (not the bitcoin blockchain!) is under some stress, it seems:

The problem isn't blockchain.info, it's Phishing by rogue tor nodes.

A Tor user puts their credentials into these fake blockchain.info sites presented by a rogue Tor node, and then the hackers steal all your coins.

Is Bank of America to blame when people click links in phishing emails and type in their passwords to some dubious site?
