BTC is a Bitcoin to Amazon P2P service provider. This weekend a number of users are complaining that they have had Bitcoins stolen from their BTC wallets, but the company denies any notion of breach. The complaints all coincide on the theft methodology, receiving an apparently valid request to reset their password, which was then followed with a minor theft from their accounts. One user says that the attack managed to get through a two factor authentication system, and another claims to have lost 36 Purse.io (about $9,000). BTC admits that there was a security breach over the weekend, but denies any theft of B﻿itcoins.
