Dark marketplace closes after theft of £3m in bitcoins
Dark net market Sheep Marketplace has shut down after $5.3m (£3.3m) in bitcoins was stolen from the site.
The site shut down over the weekend and visitors today see a notice blaming the theft for the closure.
It said the theft was carried out by a vendor on Sheep who exploited a bug in the site's software to steal the virtual cash.
Sheep Marketplace rose to prominence after the FBI shut down the illegal Silk Road marketplace in October.
