A short summary: - The DDoS not the actually attack. Just a way to remove the focus from the sys admins so they could get through another security hole. - There was a bug with the way their algorithm works with hot and cold wallets. ALL bitcoins were in the hot wallet and because of this they were easier to access by hackes. - All funds are lost for the users. According to Kris he/BIPS are not responsible due to their TOS. - Kris advice people NOT to use hot wallets anymore - only with very low amounts of Bitcoins. - Kris tells BIPS will continue as a payment provider - but have closed down there wallets for good.
I think thats a pretty good summary of the article. Otherwise - try the above google translation
