Das südkoreanische Kryptounternehmen sendet versehentlich Bitcoins im Wert von 44 Milliarden US-Dollar an Benutzer

tldr; South Korean cryptocurrency exchange Bithumb accidentally distributed over US$44 billion worth of bitcoins to users during a promotional event, instead of small cash rewards. The error affected 695 customers, who received at least 2,000 bitcoins each. Bithumb quickly restricted trading and withdrawals, recovering 99.7% of the bitcoins within 35 minutes. The exchange clarified that the incident was not due to hacking or security breaches, and bitcoin prices briefly slumped before recovering.
