”Our hot wallets was drained, coins: bitcoin, litecoin, urocoin, dogecoin, bitcoinscrypt, magi, darkcoin, dogecoindark, cannabis All coins that we have, will be returned to users. Coins stolen – in correspondingly smaller quantities. We had wallets in the ratio 60%/40% (hot/cold),” according to Cryptoine’s website.

It is evident that the hack was a result of a “race conditioning bug.” In strictly programming terminology, Race Condition Bug means those uncontrollable events that don’t happen in the exact sequence as expected or intended by the programmer.
