Could you elaborate on the magnitude of the Bitcoin theft that occurred during the Bitfinex hack? Specifically, how many Bitcoins were stolen, and what was the estimated value of this loss at the time? This incident has been widely discussed in the crypto community, and I'm interested in understanding the financial implications and impact it had on the platform and its users. Additionally, I'm curious about the security measures that Bitfinex implemented afterwards to prevent such an event from recurring.
