Title: Mt Gox DDOS?
Post by: Razick on April 03, 2013, 01:37:32 PM
I notice that Mt Gox seems to be throwing 502 Bad Gateway errors and is running slow(er than normal). I can barely access the site (my internet seems to be fine. Is anyone else having this problem?

Could this be a DDOS attack?

I guess a server update is happening.
Multiple reports are coming in about a account number change.

I find it is always a good policy to spring an upgrade on your users without warning and in the middle of a busy trade session!

Not to mention the biggest rally ever seen.

They're also discussing the downtime over on reddit, but from what I can tell no one has posted relevant info yet.

Has anyone checked the MtGox IRC channel? I can't get on

Might this be a good old fashioned server meltdown?

Volume seems to be stuck at 125057, along with prices, for the last hour or so.

I'm curious why MtGox thinks its advantageous to lie to it's customers on twitter.  This is obviously not lag due to "trading volume" :/

Now it says: "please wait a bit"

Doesn't feel like Mtgox.
I hope nothing is wrong again... ugh.

Hrm... My lag on clarkmoody was almost 4mins.... I refreshed and now I seem unable to connect to the websocket :/

Placing a sell order is stuck on pending for many minutes now.  I do not think it is fixed.

Has anybody else experience what I did?

When I got to mtGox.com I got redirected to hugedomains.com, the mtgox.com domains was selling at usd 1500.

I thinks the website have been hacked or something.

well, what's odd is that this would be around the time that the transition for coinlab was supposed to happen.... it's pure speculation, of course, but... I wonder what the odds are that MtGox decided to break the contract with coinlab and that wasn't very nice?

makes you wonder, anyhow.

Probably your PC is hacked or infected.

It goes online and offline every minute just try to reload it many times and if it finally loads, hurry up to login.

Two minutes ago I've successfully withdrawn the entire btc balance on mtgox to my wallet. So don't worry guys, it is not hacked.

Still very down, it looks (kind of) like a saturated connection pool - you'll get the site every few refreshes.

This is embarrassing for the btc community.



@zeroday have you actually received the coins in your wallet yet?

Yes I have already had 1 confirmation


It goes offline every 5 seconds.
Just fill withdrawal form, then load mtgox in another window and reload it until you see it's online, then click Confirm button. The same is for trade operations.

Also don't forget to panic and sell sell sell  ;D
