of course it hasn't been done yet, because if it did, well, we wouldn't be here talking about bitcoin anymore would we?
The risk is to all electronic transactions
Whether stocks, bitcoins, or even using your credit card at target
There is an inherent risk in all of them

But even the link you posted, the exploit was patched in 5 hours
It's been a few days now for the target credit card hack
And no resolution in sight.
