This makes absolutely no sense...

No shit sherlock, but that's is irrelevant to my question.  He claims "this box was not public facing", then provides an ip that the attacker connected from.  So which is it?  How did the attacker connect to a box that was not accessible?

1nject0r,

The grown ups are talking please STFU!  The nonsensical ramblings of a 2bit warez seller are not welcome or needed.

1nject0r,

So someone with physical access got in.  If that's the case you should absolutely file a police report.  $250,000 is way past misdemeanor level and there are a limited number of people with physical access.

But wait, you listed the IP address the attacker connected from in the other thread so maybe it wasn't physical access.  So which was it?  Was it accessible from the internet, or was it not?

This thread is the sister thread to the "bitfloor needs your help" thread here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=105818.0

It is meant for the tracking and discussion of the stolen coins from BitFloor.com

The attack came from the following IP:
178.176.218.157

And the coins were withdrawn with the following transactions:
83f3c30dc4fa25afe57b85651b9bbc372e8789d81b08d6966ea81f524e0a02be

Obviously it is high hopes to have the coins returned, but I do feel that the community can always benefit from more knowledge about high profile thefts and the aftermath.

Bitcoin, or "Bitcoin wallet", is the name of the client software you install. After you run the software, it will generate a Bitcoin address for you. You can give this address to other people, and they will be able to send you Bitcoins. Under "receive coins" in the Bitcoin software, you can generate more new addresses, so that you can give different address to different people, and all the payments will still come to you. This is useful if you want easily determine who sent you money.

Once you run the software, it must download all transactions that have ever taken place, so that Bitcoin knows how much money every user of Bitcoin has. This can take many hours, or even a day or two on a bad internet connection. As a new user, you will only be able to see money that has been sent to you after all transaction blocks have been downloaded.

After you have received money, you can then make a payment to another user by sending coins to one of their Bitcoin addresses.

It is important that you make a backup of the wallet file, as only the computer you install Bitcoin on has the information you need to send coins - if your hard drive crashes, you will lose all your money, because you no longer will be able to send it to anyone. Please look at the wiki to learn how to make a backup of your wallet.dat file, which contains all your addresses.

How do you get bitcoins? You trade something for them, either money, services, or merchandise. There are currency exchanges where you can simply buy bitcoins on the internet. There also may be users near you that will sell Bitcoins in person, or may pay you Bitcoins for something. Sometimes there are people here that will even send you small amounts for free so you can see how Bitcoin works, simply give them your Bitcoin address.

You should become a super-expert in all aspects of Bitcoin before considering using it on any website or internet service.

Wait. If those weren't your bitcoinses, whose did I eat? 

That's me. I hacked those bitcoins. They were pretty tasty except for the last ones that had that weird kinda musty thing going on.
