bitcomsec··on Bitstamp is open for business
Hi. Can you comment on the attack vector used to infiltrate bitstamp? was it a zeroday, misconfiguration? logic problem with their code? How did you discover and fix the problem before relaunching the server so quickly?

I'm confused - "an investigation is underway" - and investigation as to how they got in? or WHO did it?

I wish I knew more specifics about this situation but I'm starting to feel that you guys rushed the relaunch of the service post-intrusion.
