Typo in Bitcoin-rival Zcoin lets attacker steal $400,000 - Business Insider

"Yap emphasises that there's nothing wrong with Zcoin's cryptography â\x80\x94 it was just the typo that was the problem.", "Zcoin is similar to Bitcoin â\x80\x94 it's a digital currency powered by cryptography, and without any single central bank."

'On Friday, digital currency Zcoin announced that a typographical error had let an unidentified attacker make a profit of around $400,000 (£320,000). '

'"Yesterday, our team found a bug in our implementation of Zerocoin," Zcoin community manager Reuben Yap wrote in a blog post on Friday. '

'Almost all of these have already been sold on, netting the attacker a profit of around 410 bitcoin â\x80\x94 $437,000 (£351,000) â\x80\x94 according to Zcoin. '
