You mean something like this? http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1wtbiu/how_i_stole_roughly_100_btc_from_an_exchange_and/ http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1wtbiu/how_i_stole_... 'Someone' didn't ensure their trading engine did atomic writes to a database (by the way, that database doesn't do write isolation on multiple documents by default.. guess which database is that? Hint: it starts with the letter 'M'), which resulted in a potential race condition that could be exploited. Coinbase uses that database, and apparently did not know that you need to ensure atomic write operations. edit nwh links to Coinbase CEO's comment that it was not them. Ok, good to know. However, I still can't see how anyone would use said database in critical/production infrastructure, sorry. Maybe in a few+ years time it will be mature enough.
