What a shitty article. There are no details about the incident. We don't know if the btc was stolen from an online exhange, online wallet, electrum, and btcd.

Who uses an online wallet for storing $100k?

With WPA2 cracked, I don't trust ANY internet connection that isn't fully in my control and encrypted. especially if I'm doing something illegal or using a machine that has access to personal or other sensitive files like crypto seeds & pgp keys

Neither should anyone else. Read about if you haven't heard yet.

Austrian Hackers?

Why is this marked NSFW?

If he was this careless with his bitcoin then clearly 100K isn't really that much money to him. He is probably a millionaire, I'm sure he's fine.
