News about bitcoin exchanges being hacked has become all to commonplace. Today several exchanges are announcing that they have become the victims of malicious hacks resulting in a loss of bitcoin from their wallets. Excoin apparently lost coins from their hot wallets, and then pushed more funds from their cold wallets into their hot wallets to assure they had funds for users that were making withdrawals. Meanwhile Bter is reporting that they have lost 7170 BTC from their cold wallet and are offering a reward of 720 BTC for chasing it back. And finally...there is speculation that HitBTC may also have been hacked as they don't appear to be allowing withdrawals at the moment. HitBTC has not released any official information on the matter yet though.
