The reason behind all the hacking when the price starts to rise is down to the value nothing more..
Why would a hacking group spend months, working on a site or trying to gain access to the admin accounts by what ever method if the reward is low. or there is no demand for what they plan to steal..
I think when price rises people should be very careful leaving funds in exchanges or casinos or games, because they all become targets for hackers when the price gets high.
Withdraw your funds if you have them tucked away on ANY site. get them in your wallet take control!
If you need to trade or play put only what you need into the accounts!!
Don't let 2017 be a repeat of previous years. We all know the MTgox and other high profile hacks happened when the price went up!
When hackers are trying to hack some popular exchanger site with purpose to steal the bitcoin then they can just do it, it doesn't matter whether the price is at its highest point or whatever because after they steal those bitcoins then they're actually owning it and no one could take over its access unless the private key were stolen or the hackers getting compromised by someone else. So, the current rate doesn't really affect to the hackers
