Bitcoin Forum

Thanks to your incompetence and lack of pre-planning the majority of my online accounts at various websites including paypal and online banking have been compromised including my one unactive warcraft account. I got a call today that my identity might of been stolen as well. I swear to god if I ever see you fucks in real life you better run.

lol  :D

lol  ;D pnwd

you share part of the blame though, for using same password everywhere. Stop doing it.

Hey guys, remember how MtGox made us use our MtGox password everywhere else?  I'm glad they changed that policy.

Aww be nice. Yes using the same password for all your accounts is a bad idea, we can all agree. But give him a little slack.

Sorry, but if somebody managed to decrypt your password, it was probably not very strong.
But you're right, leaking a database with over 60,000 user passwords is just unacceptable --> Mt. Gox's fault !

But using the same password for bitcoin trading, PayPal AND online banking is both unacceptable and stupid --> sorry, but that's your fault !

You might as well get a scare cut, you mighty scare pulling person.

Fixed.

GOXED


Also fortunately my password on Mtgox was unique to just that site.

so what you're saying is you used the same password for everything?

lol, lol, lol

Speaking of LulzSec - you've been psyop'd by LulzSec.

That 62,000 password file does not contain the service at which it was used.

;D

Nice troll face in your sig. Nice story too. Now, if this was only remotely true I'd feel sorry for you.

Seriously. Why is a thread like this up for more than a few minutes.  ???

This somehow needs to be combined with "GOXED". I'm not sure how yet.

It's easy for people who are technically knowledgeable to sit there and do the "blame the victim" game, except there are just a few things that need to be remembered.

1. If it's the guilty party -- like, you know, the people who gave the PASSWORDS to an ACCOUNTANT -- that tries blaming someone else, we all think of them as a fucking jerk.

2. How many times do people hear the line "No, we can only change your password, because the system keeps it encrypted so we can't see it" from technical support -- you know, the people the average user is SUPPOSED to trust to be more knowledgeable? I've run across PLENTY of people who take that the wrong way and assume it's OK. Especially if they use decent passwords. Seriously, plenty of "techs" still claim 8 characters, non-dictionary, is sufficient. Do I know these techs are wrong? Ayup. Would I expect most of my relatives to know? Hell no.

If you want bitcoins to be accepted as a currency, try being, oh, I don't know, polite and helpful to people who didn't actually pay for a course on computer security because it's not actually their job. Seriously, good luck getting any "average" business to take bitcoins when you can't resist telling them how stupid you think they are because they don't know more than a comp sci graduate about technical matters.

what was your password? QWERY? PUPPY123?

Account Owner Ownski Owned by Owners of MtGOX.  ;D

Try a new password other than password

He probably had password1 because he heard alpha-numeric is stronger.

<The troll be trolling down the river when he trolls.>

You are the incompetent fk, problems happen and cause you didnt feel the need to change your password doesnt mean you need to continue blaming gox.

</<The troll be trolling down the river when he trolls.>

OP post photo id please. Otherwise we can't be sure it's you and not someone who has compromised your forum account.

hahahahah. Well, he didn't reply yet, so maybe this account is also compromised.

I think the crackers cancelled his internet account ;)

Im guessing his new password will be fuckyoumtgox

12 letters... unbreakable!

Ownski got g0xed, myg0x!

Valid point, had the OP been polite.

Not op's pic, but meh...

It's ok, at least he can still double his bitcoins (or whatever he has left of them) with his sig link!

can someone post the link of all the accounts that were compromised?

I think i signed up at mt gox, but never wanted to put any money into it because it was with american banks... ???

You should use very secure random generated password.  I use ha5"Iwuu~Sj$JLf8QwFv on all sites.  :-)

(No I'm not really that stupid LOL)

This is seriously going to become a Bitcoin meme.

All MtGox accounts were compromised.

And it will result in more people using MtGox. Streisand effect is a bitch.

Not really. It will spread word of MtGox certainly, but it will not paint them in a positive light.

LOL! I don't remember when I last laughed this hard.....!   ;D

yeah streisand effect hey everyone anyone need a good math teacher for their kid ted kazinski is giving lessons also i hear bernie madoff is starting a new hedge fund so im sure it'll all rock.. also hey man enron shares are going dirt cheap.. any publicity is good publicity AM I RIGHT GUYS AM I RIGHT?!!?!?!

PS who is that a picture of... i shall begin to worship that creature as my new god.

Go easy on this guy, he could be for real.

There is an "ownski" on the leaked MtGox accounts list with a non-salted encryption, easily cracked to an 8 character password.

He probably used the same password on many sites (including his Gmail account), just like many others did, *probably some of you*. He was just unlucky enough to have been an early MtGox user who came in before the salted encryption came about.

If there was a night elf and/or paladin on that account, then you deserved it.

Reggie Fils-Aime.

where is the list?

Floating around every corner of the internet. Seriously. You're on it. No, I'm not screwing with you.

20462,maxinmontreal,maxinmontreal@hotmail.com,$1$oU1eczCz$.hdDQJsigD.DX4PXLy3Jf/                                                

of course, that could easily mean his forum account got compromised by anyone cracking passwords.

It's a topsy-turvy world.

Lulz...

Gox is getting shadier every day!

I'm sure they screwed up big internally but doesn't want to admit it.

Oh your balance is off, but WE HAVE NO IDEA HOW???  WTF???
Release the whole fucking log and we'll tell you how!

I would laugh at this if people werent losing serious cash in this deal. This guy is playing a really dangerous game.

This is exactly like driving drunk, and some dipshit hits you with their car and you get arrested. Sure what you did was reckless and dangerous, but you might have never gotten fucked if it wasn't for them. That being said, your face is fucking awesome.

Mt Gox shares most of the blame for leaking their fucking accounts database with unsalted MD5 hashes.

If Mt Gox had a notice on the sign up page: "Warning: we will send your password to our accountant for no particular reason" then sure, I would agree that it is the OP's fault for not choosing something stronger/unique.

It is important to understand that the average user doesn't know why a strong password is needed. They assume that they only need something that won't be guessed. Even a knowledgeable user could reasonably assume that Mt Gox would actively protect their database, and not send it to anonymous strangers for no particular reason.

When it comes down to blaming a user who should have been more careful, or a someone in a position of trust who did something retardedly stupid, I tend to blame the latter.

No site wants their passwords leaked, even hashed.  But shit happens, all the time.  even a good secure password with an unsalted MD5 hash will realistically never be broken; stronger hashes and salts are a compromise for bad passwords and assist mainly in making brute force slower.

On the other hand, sites like Sony who kept their user passwords completely in the clear, not hashed or encrypted,.  Well, those are the shady companies I wouldn't touch with a 39 and a half foot pole.

Perhaps we should use different *usernames* on all sites, but keep the same password, eh?

Wouldn't have helped you with gmail, but that's not a bad idea, assuming your password is strong.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

fuck you mt gox

hallucinating to see people defending mt gox when the guy got all his account hacked because of their incompetence. guy is a customer, doesn't have to be a computer freak!

He got his MtGox account hacked because of their incompetence.

He got all the other accounts hacked because of his incompetence. This isn't 1992 anymore, you can't have the same, weak password on all your sites. You don't have to be a security genius to know that.

I'm just tuning in.  So basically this guy used the same password for all his accounts!!!

WOW.

This isn't 1992 anymore...

I'd like to laugh, HAHA!!!, but the poor guy is in some serious trouble now...

But I like to be optimiztic and think of how we make the best out of bad situations.  Maybe he could become a new role model that does "The More You Know" infomercials and have his picture with GOXED on internet billboard ads allover the world, which would say:  "Public Service Announcment: Dear all netizens, don't be like me.  Don't get GOXED.  Please use different passwords for each account.  It isn't 1992 anymore, you know..."
