Bitcoinica site hacked!

During an attack on the Bitcoinica exchange, hackers managed to steal 18,547 BTC – valued at approximately US$100,000. The operators have taken their site offline for the time being. Bitcoinica says that no bitcoins were stolen from users during the incident; apparently, the intruders only accessed the organisation's accounts.
