World\’s biggest ever digital currency \’theft\’

Dear Listers,

One of Japan\’s largest digital currency exchanges says it has lost some
$534m (£380m) worth of virtual money in a hacking attack on its network.

Coincheck suspended deposits and withdrawals for all crypto-currencies
except Bitcoin as it assessed its losses in NEM, a lesser-known coin. If
the theft is confirmed, it will be the largest involving digital
currency. Another
Tokyo exchange, MtGox, collapsed in 2014 after admitting that $400m had
been stolen from its network.
