IIRC the site was written in PHP and it was a miracle it didn't get hacked earlier (or, now it seems, it did, but the hackers kept the site running to maximize the heist).

To be fair, PHP by itself is not the issue here, the issue is rather being amateurs (Mark, Ross) who started doing a fun project and ended up brokering millions of dollars without having the experience or opsec of doing so. This is what lead to their downfall.
