Title: Seems kind of obvious, who stole the mt gox coins no? Post by: massivebitman on March 12, 2014, 11:19:28 PM Seems to me the people most likely to have 'stolen' the coins are the ones who published the hacked documents.
I've had a look and the docs seem legit, so if these 'hackers' could get access to these docs, just imagine what else they got access to. Title: Re: Seems kind of obvious, who stole the mt gox coins no? Post by: davida on March 13, 2014, 01:59:34 AM I doubt that amount of coins were ever stolen from mt.gox by a hacker. Something else went on.
It would be more likely someone in mtgox has either let that info leak or leaked it themselves to add legitimacy to the claims of a hack.

Post by: Marcuson on March 13, 2014, 02:07:16 AM For some reason the alleged hackers (who were trying to steal wallets with a trojan in the executable file that was included in the leak, btw) didn't include the 3 last months in the transaction lists.
It's reasonable to believe they stole the coins during this period and then tried to steal even more with their release of the documents.

Well, perhaps the private keys were stolen? Maybe the private keys were kept alongside the wallets in the database Title: Re: Seems kind of obvious, who stole the mt gox coins no?

There was a zip file, did you open it? Haha... yeah trojan, no way am I opening that exe outside a sandbox, lol. Title: Re: Seems kind of obvious, who stole the mt gox coins no?

Even if you had your life savings in BTC, it wouldn't be a good reason for that. Just hope they come out with a fair outcome for all investors, with whatever money is left. We don't know the full story, maybe the coins are recoverable. If nothing else I hope mt gox quickly makes a offer to people who lost out. I don't want to fork out for lawyers fees, although I guess it may be necessary if there's any chance of getting anything back Title: Re: Seems kind of obvious, who stole the mt gox coins no?
