Reports about problems with the service sprung up yesterday, and Linode has already confirmed that it is at fault.

Hackers Break Into Web Host Linode, Steal $228K in Bitcoins from Customers

Nicole Henderson
2012-03-02

http://www.thewhir.com/web-hosting-news/hackers-break-into-web-host-linode-steal-228k-in-bitcoins-from-customers

According to a thread on WebHostingTalk, the issue with the Linode management console could potentially put all VPS web hosts at risk. One user suggested hosts using Linode check their systems for reboots and change root passwords as soon as possible to prevent a security breach.

Yet Bitcoin keeps rolling.

Any significantly advanced cryptocurrency is indistinguishable from Ponzi Tulips.

Thousands of Bitcoins stolen in a hack on Linode

Morgan Peck
2012-03-02

http://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/computing/networks/thousands-of-bitcoins-stolen-in-a-hack-on-linode

Interestingly, the price of Bitcoin, which usually tumbles on this sort of news, has stayed right around $4.6 all day. In fact, that's where it's been for over a month now, with occasional spikes up over $5. While the hack is clearly the latest set back for Bitcoin, the mellow reaction from the market could indicate that the currency is becoming more resilient as businesses prove their willingness to absorb losses.

In my opinion - it's a source from 'within the community' - so I won't be referencing individual articles from it here.
However, I'll be keeping an eye out and reporting when some other journalists/media outlets write followup pieces on Bitcoin Magazine articles or refer to the magazine.

There is a short article about bitcoin in the the march edition of "The Linux Journal"
(no web link to it - subscriber only)

Nothing new , but the author says this at the end:

"What about you? Do you think cryptocurrency has a future, or do you think its a geeky fad that will fade away? Send an e-mail with CRYPTOCURRENCY in the subject line to shawn@linuxjournal.com, and Ill follow up with a Web article based on your feedback."

If anybody has the full article feel free to put it up.

Yep. That's him.

Bitcoin Fact: the price of bitcoin will not be greater than $70k for more than 25 consecutive days at any point in the rest of recorded human history.

Dwolla Put Us Out of Business, Bitcoin Exchange Says in Suit

Jeremy Quittner
2012-03-06

http://www.americanbanker.com/issues/177_45/tradehill-dwolla-bitcoin-exchange-digital-currency-lawsuit-1047273-1.html

In February American Banker asked Jordan Lampe, Dwolla's chief executive, whether his company was the unidentified payment processor that Kenna, in the earlier blog post, claimed had removed $100,000 from TradeHill's account "without notice."

In response, Lampe wrote in a Feb. 17 email, "We operate legally under a very defined set of laws and regulations [and]we can't/won't comment on individual accounts, past or present. We are extremely focused on our financial institution products right now."

Dwolla Caught in Legal Feud with Bitcoin Exchange TradeHill for $2 Million

Kit Dotson
2012-03-06

http://siliconangle.com/blog/2012/03/06/dwolla-caught-in-legal-feud-with-tradehill-for-2-million-bitcoin/

While its obvious from the Bitcoin community that indeed Dwolla suddenly became chargeback happyand did so in a manner that caused surprise and harm to exchangesthe biggest exchange in themarketMt.Gox still uses them as a payment network. Initially, Mt. Gox cofounder Mark Karpeles says that the chargebacks simply disappeared from the history; but later Mt.Gox and Dwolla managed better communication about charges and chargebacks
