Mt. Gox, the world's largest Bitcoin exchange, collapsed when it revealed that 850,000 BTC belonging to customers and the company were missing.
The exchange had been incrementally hacked since at least 2011 when attackers gained access to the hot wallet, with hackers siphoning BTC over several years.
