Update: the Linode compromise first reported was that of the "slush" mining pool (mining.bitcoin.cz), reporting a loss of 3094 BTC. Second report was the donation-funded bitcoin faucet, reporting a loss of all of its 5 BTC. Third report is the biggest, Bitcoinica.com which is arguably the second-largest exchange. Their main site is hosted at rackspace, but their 'hot wallet' was hosted at Linode, and contained 10,000 BTC which were stolen.[1] 1: https://www.bitcoinica.com/posts/warning-please-do-not-re-us... EDIT: Those not following this incident on the bitcoin forums might be amused that the attacker used the stolen bitcoins to form a transaction with a size of 1337 bytes. That's probably not a coincidence, since the size of bitcoin transactions are usually under 1kb. http://blockchain.info/tx-index/2893660/d9804de366aa4c2a0156... |
