Theymos said that BitcoinTalk could remain offline for as many as 60 hours following the incident, and cautioned users to "act as though your password hashes, PMs, emails, etc. were compromised".

I think that the attacker had access for only about 12 minutes before I noticed it and had the server disconnected

That's an amazingly quick reaction...kudos to theymos.

To me, all these incidents show clearly that security is not possible. We are in a field in which the average user knows how to manage a server and those who manage servers really know what they are doing. And yet, services get hacked day in and day out. If the enemy knows what he's doing and is determined enough, you're going down.

Edit: I was thinking security of centralized services

Suggest small bounties to any hackers able to find exploits to new Dash code as an incentive, preemptive actions better.

They already search them for free because there is money involved anyway if they find something :wink:
