On August 2, but 7 years ago, one of the largest and most expensive hacks in #bitcoin history occurred.
The Bitfinex exchange was targeted by hackers, who managed to steal $119,756 BTC, equivalent to $72 million at the time.
Today, those bitcoins would be worth more than $3.5 billion, with the #Bitcoin price above $29,000.
Bitfinex continues to operate as one of the top exchanges in the market, and has announced that it received funds seized by the US government and that it plans to reimburse those affected by the theft.
