My job is to evolve and secure a particular bitcoin platform.
Money directly stolen out of a platform wallet is an unneeded problem. It should never happen. It should not be possible for an attacker to give that instruction. The system should not even know where to send such instruction to. So, how could an attacker ever do that?
The real difficulty is to prevent an attacker to inject misleading/deceptive messages into the system that cause the system to pay out to the wrong address. This does happen, if only because of bugs in the system.
