$1.3 Million in Bitcoin Stolen in Major Online Robbery
Cybercriminals have stolen $1.3 million dollars' worth of Bitcoin from inputs.io, a company that let users store the digital currency in online wallets, the site's founder claimed in a message on the site on Friday that started with a frowning emoticon.
The founder, known only as TradeFortress, wrote that cybercriminals hacked into his site on two different occasions and stole 4,100 BTC, the equivalent of $1.3 million. If true, this would be one of the 15 biggest robberies in Bitcoin's history, according to one list of Bitcoin heists (the biggest theft involved 263,024 BTC).
