You know that dump we hit yesterday? According to cointelegraph that was due to a hack on the 6th largest exchange Bithumb

All of the top ten cryptocurrencies by market cap are seeing losses of between 1 and 8 percent.
According to representatives from the Korean fraud detection project Sentinel Protocol, Bithumb’s hot wallet was hacked on the night of June 19.

It is honestly a little frightening that one hack could effect the market like that. I wonder what is going to happen next.
