Dogecoin was hacked for the first time on Christmas with millions of Dogecoins being stolen. While the value of the Dogecoins stolen was only about $12,000, it was still money that people spent a lot of time and effort acquiring. Fortunately, the community has come together to raise enough money to reimburse the victims of the hack.
Users of the half-serious virtual currency Dogecoin are raising 30 million coins, worth about $13,545, in order to reimburse victims of a massive Christmas heist. Two days ago, hackers broke into two major wallets, Dogewallet and Instadoge, and made off with dogecoins belonging to “shibes,” the community’s term for Dogecoin users.
