Once did some programming/networking work for a company that did the networking of a office sharing building that Coinbase was running out of. Early in my work there I noticed that the company had its admin passwords written on a whiteboard -- visible from the hallway because they had glass for walls. So I sent them an email to ask that they remove it (I billed them for it).

Their fix was to put a piece of paper over the passwords.

What a time.

This doesn’t surprise me at all.

Bitcoin, and really fintech as a whole, are beyond reckless.

That’s like saying the $USD was hacked when a bank gets breached.

No. It's like saying that cash is risky when a bunch of cash gets stolen or lost.
