Congrats to the Internet for hitting a milestone birthday (that most people will care little about and/or pay little attention regarding). Nevertheless, arguably, globalization would be very different had said medium not be invented (and, commercialized).

In light of the first Bitcoin (bank / repository / vault, et al.) ‘bankruptcy’ hackers have taken over some of the web accounts of the organization’s embattled boss.
