Hi there,
recently there was a lengthy thread about BitCoins. I found concept and whole idea very interesting and spent some time tinkering around how to really use it.
Today I run into article on UK WEB site that is all about encryption and security of payments. They have article about security with BitCoins saying:
" ... Hackers have once again broken into Bitcoina's on-line server and stolen $90,000 worth of Bitcoin, the last time in March the hackers got away with $225,000. So how can you steal Bitcoins, why aren't they protected against theft and is it a valid proposition for the future? These are just some technical questions that are relatively easy to answer and to which there are adequate solutions..."
Here is link to complete article: http://www.smartcard.co.uk/articles/...l_bitcoins.php
Can somebody that knows what he is talking about (BitCoins) comment on this? :(
