Bitcoin exchange Bitfinex apparently loses $63 million to hackers

Digital currency exchange in Hong Kong has suspended trading after a security breach in which thieves made off with an apparent $63 million worth of bitcoin. The exchange, Bitfinex, reported the intrusion on Tuesday and said it was working with law enforcement. It doesn’t say how many bitcoins are missing, but the site’s director of community and product development said on Reddit that the losses stand at 119,756 bitcoins. A bitcoin was trading at $527.25 at the time of this report, although the price was falling as news of the hack spread.”]
