All I can think is who the hell even uses a closed source cryptocurrency wallet? I'm not completely an open source purist in all places, but if there's ever a place to be one, it's in cryptocurrency. You'd think people that wanted to hold money that they didn't trust to banks wouldn't then trust that money to a random unreviewed app.
It frustrates me that unfamiliar people are going to see this article (or ones about random fly-by-night exchanges running away with deposits) and just come away thinking this type of problem is an unavoidable part of cryptocurrency, which it's not. Maybe it is for people who don't do their research, but I'm not telling them to use cryptocurrency. I hate that whenever there's talk about cryptocurrency, these amateur cases dominate the conversation. It'd be like if every time the act of camping was brought up, people were aghast and talked about how unsafe camping is and how it's a horrible thing because of how some family died camping recently (after they went camping in the middle of the desert without supplies).
