Coindesk reports 377,000 more Ether were at risk of theft, but were drained into holding accounts by white hats.
It will be interesting to see if these whitehats get into any trouble. It was my understanding that hacking for good was still completely illegal.

Always will be. Same as breaking and entering for good, or speeding for good, or smoking pot.

Smoking pot isn't always illegal.

Thought smoking pot wasn't illegal, but being in possession of it was. Not that I've ever smoked pot, but just something I heard as a rumor.

Hard to smoke it without possessing it to do so.

And that's supposedly healthy. . . eh. . .
That was the topic of the BBC article... questioning if it is healthy or not.
Anything to extremes is not healthy.

DragonQuest is 30. This has been and probably always will be my absolute favorite game series.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-40673671Interesting article, points to the fact that they may have crossed into Canada potentially, I really hope that this is the case that they are missing by their own choice of action =/. Also I'm not going to lie, this action by trump threw me off:
"The event aims to inspire young people to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and maths.
However, it made the news earlier this month after a team of girls from Afghanistan were initially not allowed to attend the competition because of visa problems.
But US President Donald Trump stepped in at the last minute and the girls were able to travel to the US and participate."
Trump? Helped? Huh?
