A hacker managed to break into the platform and steal the funds. The first thing which BTER attempted was to negotiate a chain split.

The exploit suggests that all the coins taken were stored in a hot wallet, so smaller reserves or any sort of time delay would have reduced the losses. Any platform protecting the funds in cold storage would have..."

The hacker used their “magic money” to purchase all the bitcoin on the platform. It appears they managed to make off with 1,323 bitcoin before the issue was discovered (very quickly), although the company did not reveal the magnitude of the hack. The e..."

While hackers of course got into the hot wallets, all customers who had utilized the available cold storage service (available for an extra charge) were able to retrieve their funds. The company walked away and did nothing to assis..."

Poloniex is interesting in that it presently claims insurance on the front of the website, and expressly denies having insurance in the terms of service. They’re also apparently based in the United States and working with regulators, yet unable to serve a..."

GoxThe most famous incident that everyone has heard of. Lack of secure storage for funds, a CEO who had his focus elsewhere, and the hacks apparently went undetected for months. There is still an ongoing bankruptcy. Luckily, at least one of the cold wallets escaped capture and can be used for disbursement. While victims have massive l..."

Even posts going into 2016 and 2017 seemed to report that the matter was never resolved. It seems very likely that the exchange just didn’t have enough users with significant balances to warrant a law..."

On November 21st, 2013, it appears that a vendor exploited a security hole in the website to make off with 5400 bitcoins, which is believed to be the sum of all funds on the site. The bitcoin was ultimately traced to two i..."

The service suffered attacks on October 23rd, October 24th, and a final time on November 8th.

It is unclear if the password may have been reused and exposed in a previous data bre..."

Although some reporting here suggests that only a portion of the funds were stolen, there does not appear to be any indication that any of the affected users got anything bac..."

Instead, all of the funds were likely stored in a hot wallet, and this hot wallet was breached. From what I have read, the owner appears to have been doing his best to run a legitimate business operation, and simply lacked the education and technical know-how to properly secure the fun..."

The obvious problem at the time is that their cold wallets weren’t actually cold wallets and were definitely not secure storage.
