Hackers steal $5 million from major bitcoin exchange
Jan 05, 2015
Hackers have stolen more than $5 million in virtual currency from Bitstamp, a major bitcoin exchange, forcing the company to freeze user accounts, suspend trades and block deposits.
The Slovenia-based company said Monday that fraudsters made off with 19,000 bitcoins a day prior. It was not immediately clear who was responsible for the theft or how it happened.

On February 10, 2014, a Bitcoin exchange called MtGox announced it had lost some 850,000 bitcoins, of which 750,000 belonged to its customers. At the time, bitcoins were trading at $827 apiece, making the value of the loss equivalent to $620 million.
That?s a significant shortfall by anyone?s standards. But MtGox had an explanation. In a press release on that day, it announced it had been the victim of a fraud in which the bitcoins had been stolen by hackers.
The fraud, said the company, was a result of a problem known as a transaction malleability bug. This allows malicious users to transfer bitcoins into their accounts while making MtGox think the transfer had failed. Consequently, MtGox repeated these transactions so that the total amount was transferred twice.
