Title: Cyber-currency Theft - The Perfect Crime?
Post by: ArizonaTank on June 11, 2018, 02:12:37 PM
Another cyber-currency exchange was hacked over the weekend.  30% of the cyber currency on the exchange was stolen. 

Earlier in the year, $500M was stolen from an exchange in Japan.

Besides robbing a bank behind enemy lines (thanks to "Crap Game" for that observation), it may just be the most perfect crime.  High payoff, little downside risk.
