The Chinese exchange Bitcoin Bter was hacked by hackers on Valentine's Day who managed to forge 1,75 million dollars into Bitcoins.
The company has not revealed much about the violation except that they stole 7.170 BTC from the offline wallet they used on February 14 through a single link which led to the platform.
The company is currently offering 720 BTC – about $170.000 for it recovery of stolen digital currencies.
This is the second major Bitcoin heist via hack in recent years two months. Before Slovenian Bitcoin exchange Bitstamp lost around $5 million in January.
It's likely that this year's Bitcoin debate will focus more on security than whether the businesses or individuals choose to adopt the digital currency.
