A Typo in Zerocoin's Source Code helped Hackers Steal ZCoins worth $585,000

Are you a programmer?

If yes, then you would know the actual pain of… “forgetting a semicolon,” the hide and seek champion since 1958.

Typos annoy everyone. Remember how a hacker’s typo stopped the biggest bank heist in the history, saved $1 billion of Bangladesh bank from getting stolen.

But this time a typo in the Zerocoin source code costs the company more than $585,000 in losses.
