19,000 Bitcoin – valued at around $275 each, so $5 million together – have been stolen from a majour European Bitcoin exchange, reports RT.
Bitstamp, a four year old company based in the UK and Slovenia is described by the Financial Timesas “the world’s third busiest Bitcoin exchange”. It immediately took action, halting withdrawals and advising customers not to make any deposits until operations return to normal. At the time of writing, the exchange is still down.
