I had the opposite reaction. I thought it was poorly-researched, esp. in that it parroted MtGox's explanation for the compromise. I don't think the BBC should be so quick to accept that story, given this information: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2676263 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2676263
