I'm sure most people has heard about the parity wallet hack but that story just keeps continuing from there and it only gets worse. The hackers took about $32 million worth of ethereum from a vulnerability but that's nothing because with an attempt to fixing that, they brought in a new bug that got to even more wallets and one of the developers ended up with $300 million worth of ethereum. Seeing as it being an accident, he tried to give back the money but ended up locking up all the fund permanently. That's a lose situation for everyone!
The person responsible is a user called "devops199" and it's been circulating around online showing all the different wallets that are affected. I should note that the number lost is upwarpds of $300 million but could be as low as $150 million (if you can call that low) but either way that's too much. This could trigger a hard fork in the near future which has worked before but there's no guarantee in this game that it will work again,
I hope that none of you were affected by this and if you are, the best of luck to hopefully get some resolution soon. Be careful with your wallets everyone and have a nice day.
PS. that segwit2x cancellation should help out alt coins if you're stuck in it like I am
