Title: MT.Gox account hacked-Account wasnt hacked Mt.gox froze it for suspicious activ Post by: Benjie on June 18, 2011, 11:30:57 PM EDIT:
I knew my pc wasn't hacked turn out to be that MT.Gox froze my account because it contained suspicious coins, that was from a hacked wallet.dat I am just posting here so that you dont say no one warned you...My Mt.gox account has been hacked and I think Mt.gox right now is still hackable and it wasn't fixed.. 20:30 GMT 18 June, loggedin mt.gox and deposited some coins and left the pc 21:10 GMT , I log out my pc and leave home for an hour.. When I came back my account was logged out and when i tried to login it didnt work, tried to restart password but says no email on account file. If you have hundreds/thousands of dollars on your mt.gox i suggest withdrawing to btc NOWWWW.. Title: Re: MT.Gox account hacked - Suspected security bug !!!!

Title: Re: MT.Gox account hacked - Suspected security bug !!!! Post by: goldbit on June 18, 2011, 11:45:54 PM Are you not able to login Mt Gox?
When you try to login, do see you account name and balance (on the top right corner) but it says you are "not logged in"? If so, try reset your password by using your account name (not account email, it will say no email found). After reset, everything should work.

Post by: Calavera on June 18, 2011, 11:48:18 PM Why is it that you think Mt Gox was compromised rather than the much more likely possibility of your PC being compromised?
Title: Re: MT.Gox account hacked - Suspected security bug !!!! Post by: Litt on June 18, 2011, 11:51:00 PM tired of mtgox bashing posts. Much more likely you were compromised elsewhere, though I'm not saying there is no possibility. It's not by chance that there are flood of mtgox bashing thread all over the forum. Just like there are so many useless speculation threads this is just as useless to others. Practice safely using computers that you store your coins and keep your guesses to yourself.
Title: Re: MT.Gox account hacked - Suspected security bug !!!! Post by: NO_SLAVE on June 18, 2011, 11:58:05 PM seems a little premature. You will tell us when / if you remembered your password or the correct email.......RIGHT?
MTgox will log you out after a certain time w/no activity....you did know that right? Title: Re: MT.Gox account hacked - Suspected security bug !!!! Post by: Benjie on June 19, 2011, 12:12:29 AM i try to reset my account using username or email it says (Sorry No email on file for this user. or Enter in your User Name or Email.)
I can't log back in after I returned home...(after 1 hour) I know the password very well, and no my pc wasn't compromised.I have avira on all the time and scanned for viruses and spyware right now and there is nothing.. http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=18858.msg238389#msg238389 http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=18858.msg239230#msg239230 exactly similar problems.

Post by: randomguy7 on June 19, 2011, 12:18:06 AM What bitcoin related programms do you use? Is there anything new you recently installed?
Title: Re: MT.Gox account hacked - Suspected security bug !!!! Post by: Benjie on June 19, 2011, 12:23:20 AM I just installed skype yday (autoupdate) and xchat from their official site.
I only use bitcoin ver 0.3.2 from http://www.bitcoin.org/ ,poclbm_py2exe_20110428 got it from a thread here. and namecoind from thread here. Seems like noone believes me..Anyway I am not getting anything out of this, just telling you so you could avoid getting hacked. Title: Re: MT.Gox account hacked - Suspected security bug !!!! Post by: GeniuSxBoY on June 19, 2011, 12:40:05 AM What browser are you using?
Are you using the same username and password for bitcoin.org and mt. gox? Title: Re: MT.Gox account hacked - Suspected security bug !!!! Post by: randomguy7 on June 19, 2011, 12:41:53 AM You could try to download the files again using different sources, then compare the files.
If I was you, I'd immediately disconnect the pc from the net (might got trojaned somehow), boot it up using a live cd (like ubuntu on cd or a usb stick) and copy my wallet out. Then I'd send all my coins to a new guaranteed unleaked wallet (like one created using the booted live cd). Important: make a backup of the new wallet before you send any coins to it. Always make sure restoring your backup wallet works before deleting the old wallet. About "you're not infected as your virus scanner doesn't find anything": that doesn't mean anything. Virus scanners hardly find trojans if they're not already known. edit: How safe/long was your mtgox password? Can you tell it? You can't use it anymore anyways now. Most important: did you use the same password somewhere else? Title: Re: MT.Gox account hacked - Suspected security bug !!!! Post by: NO_SLAVE on June 19, 2011, 12:42:19 AM we believe you, need more info.
Title: Re: MT.Gox account hacked - Suspected security bug !!!! Post by: RandyMarsh on June 19, 2011, 12:50:55 AM Email on mtgox is optional, its possible you never entered one
Title: Re: MT.Gox account hacked - Suspected security bug !!!! Post by: Benjie on June 19, 2011, 12:58:59 AM What browser are you using? Browser: Firefox 3.6.17Are you using the same username and password for bitcoin.org and mt. gox? Yes the username is the same, passwords are different.. Code: You could try to download the files again using different sources, then compare the files. I don't think I am compromised I have been using the internet for 15 years only hacked once, I use a firewall the requires authentication from me for opening new ports or connecting any software to the internet.And my password is alphanumerical password more than 9 characters (its a random password) and yes i use it for other site that are accounts with money too and wasn't compromised. and I did setup and email on mtgox, yes its possible that I didn't set one but everything is possible right (aka. mtgox compromised)? You just don't want to believe it :) Title: Re: MT.Gox account hacked - Suspected security bug !!!! Post by: Calavera on June 19, 2011, 01:01:35 AM Seems like noone believes me..Anyway I am not getting anything out of this, just telling you so you could avoid getting hacked. It's not a matter of not believing you, you just haven't given any reason for us to believe it was Mt Gox that was compromised. You need to re-evaluate the situation and consider that the breach may have occurred on your computer or due to your security practices. Your computer could still be compromised and you need to address this. Going by what you've written this is much more likely than Mt Gox having been compromised.

1) Hack someone's account 2) Send the coins to random wallets 3) Watch as people have their accounts frozen for no apparent reason Title: Re: MT.Gox account hacked-Account wasnt hacked Mt.gox froze it for suspicious activ Post by: Wreckus on June 19, 2011, 03:41:34 PM Nice, so all someone has to do to mess with people is, 1) Hack someone's account 2) Send the coins to random wallets 3) Watch as people have their accounts frozen for no apparent reason No, it's even worse. 1) Hack Account. 2) Cash out at Mt. Gox. 3) Some sucker's account get screwed because Mt. Gox is trying to (???) Nobody is going to hack an account and hold on to the bitcoins when they can convert them to cash after a short delay... Mt. Gox locking accounts is stupid and damaging to it's function as an exchange.

That reminds me of PayPal freezing accounts. ;) The same thing is coming to the wonderful BTC world. :D
