Title: My MtGox account was hacked. Post by: K.A.T on December 25, 2011, 05:07:45 PM Hello, After receiving an email that my account had been withdrwan from. I check and couldn't login. Even a 'Forgot Password' gave no result. The withdraw info is: There has been a withdrawal from your Mt.Gox account: Transaction reference: 7e201d54-4109-4ba7-b87c-c02650a61adc Date: 2011-12-25 14:51:43 GMT IP: 84.19.169.232 After little investigation, the account seems to be a spammers IP address. I contacted MtGox and they helped me recover the login mail. BUT and here's the catch my 4 BTC is gone!!! Account balance is 0.000 BTC. The account history is below to help people avoid dealing with this thief: Sun 25 Dec 2011 02:51:43 PM GMT Withdraw Bitcoin withdraw to 1Bmd4BCamKMso6LymoGAHpq3y8nUFqmBfR Amount 4 BTC Balance 0.0000 Be careful guys I lost my coins and MtGox is not doing anything about although I had a good password in place.

Title: Re: My MtGox account was hacked. Post by: Tril on December 26, 2011, 08:04:56 AM K.A.T. are you sure there's not a keylogger on your computer?
Mtgox offers a Yubikey for cases where you must use bitcoins on unsecure computers. EDIT: also, instead of a keylogger, your e-mail account could have been compromised, then your mtgox account taken over by "recovering it" using your e-mail. Make sure your e-mail is secure! Title: Re: My MtGox account was hacked. Post by: K.A.T on December 26, 2011, 08:09:51 AM Hi, I'm using my own computers only. With some discussion with Mt.Gox, I clicked on phishing mail masked as an Mt.Gox mail asking to review my account just before the withdrawal. MtGox did not send such a mail and I fell for it. It's my mistake and I paid for it. Title: Re: My MtGox account was hacked. Post by: N.Olmos on December 26, 2011, 01:49:51 PM Sorry to hear of your loss.

Post by: casascius on December 26, 2011, 07:51:37 PM A second withdrawal password would help with this.
I hear another popular Bitcoin-related site just started doing this. Title: Re: My MtGox account was hacked. Post by: K.A.T on December 27, 2011, 06:58:20 AM Totally with you casascius. Or some 2-factor approval if possible. Title: Re: My MtGox account was hacked. Post by: zer0 on December 30, 2011, 12:02:18 AM Did you click the link in the spammer email and give them your login info?
I like how Pecunix is set up. You can still use it through Tor and they give you a 16-character PIK and without it withdrawing is useless. Title: Re: My MtGox account was hacked. Post by: K.A.T on December 31, 2011, 06:10:18 AM As I mentioned I did click the link..... I think if we suggest a black list of BITCOIN addresses, would that be OK ? So you don't send coins to suspicious addresses..... Title: Re: My MtGox account was hacked. Post by: vuce on December 31, 2011, 09:30:32 AM Doesn't mtgox have support for some mobile phone two factor authentication? Why the hell are people not using that is beyond me...

Why the hell are people not using that is beyond me... Psh, They think One mobile alert is too much effort and time wasted when "all i wanna do is make a withdrawl" Title: Re: My MtGox account was hacked.
