Bitcoin Forum

Last night i sent 15 btc to gox to trade to usd in the am. However i woke up this morning and someone must have logged into my account and traded 10 bitcoins for me. Leaving 5btc there, as well as the USD they received after the trade. Nothing was stolen...they just traded for me. HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA . What the fuck gox ? Are you doing automatic trading service now for people ?


Hack or Glitch ?

Whatever it was... least nothing was stolen.

ever heard of standing orders?

There was nothing on order. I had nothing in my account. All i did was send 15 btc to it.

At first you were writing shit for MtGox: http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=20820.msg260726
But then you are writing shit against it

regardless of what actually happened, if you got hacked by the "dumbest hacker", doesnt that technically make you even dumber than the hacker?

The fact that you did a search in a thread to see if i ever posted about GOX is hilarious. Bro you have no life do you ? I think Star Wars is on TBS bro. Get off the fucking form and go watch it in your moms basement on her plastic covered couch.

lol what a d bag. Bottom line is a person can have a change of heart. I was a supporter for gox for awhile but, after seeing this bullshit...its comical. Im not buying that Yubikee either...Fuck that noise.

angry?
troll please go back under the bridge.

That makes no sense.

" For the record im just posting shit to make people aware of what happened and to be careful ... if you dont appreciate it then take your yubikee and shuve it in ur ass "

You can get one for free if you had an open trade when the site went down.

Besides, it's not "noise", it's unbreakable unless someone gets physical access to your key

I see how it wouldn't make sense for a DUMBASS

There was 0 BTC in my account. Nothing was in there for over a week till the AM. I think the hack wasnt intended to steal any cash just to get the market going. Think about it... If i had 15 BTC total in there... Why only trade 10. Probably was a hack spread over X amount of accounts... and said trade 10 btc at current price . For whatever given reason i dont know why. Ive been using Gox for 4 months now and never saw this. Just posting it to make people aware.


Cant do standing orders if no BTC was in there to begin with. So that is out. Telling your people... It was a hack!

yes you can. now STFU!

SELL SELL SELLL!!!!!!!111!1

not to jack the thread but WakiMiko your avatar is awesome ;). Got a glider too tatoo'd on the arm so I appreciate seeing other people wearing it on forums.

cry cry. it is actually, a nice avatar to have.
you don't even know what it stands for, do you? 

He erased his reply pretty quickly, don't know why lol

i know why! he embarrassed himself by his comment. lol

It's a handy feature of MtGox actually.   Set up your sell order and if the price is right it executes when your BTC deposit arrives.

Similarly - even with no USD - you can place a sell order and a buy order such that if you manage to sell - you may then have funds for your buy order to execute.

That you didn't know about this feature suggests the possibility that you put the order there and didn't realize it was still in place.

Huh no shit. That is pretty cool. Well if that's what happened then MY BAD. Sorry Gox . But honestly... I don't recall setting it up to be honest.

no shit!

very cool  8)

so true!

fair enough, its always nice to apologize when you have made a mistake. noob forum members should take notes now.

when i did that first time, i was shocked, like you. :D

I used to work in PCI DSS, but I left after there was a minor data breech at another local vendor. There are inherent risks to the current credit card and banking systems. People spend so much money on the systems to ensure security, but even that's not enough. If somebody has hacked your account, and MtGox was up to PCI DSS (assuming that is what they have meant by industry standard), then they have gone beyond reason to protect your information. Years ago, the university i work at used to write the student's credit card number on their student record. After PCI DSS, we had to white out the credit card number on A LOT of papers, copy them, and destroy the original. Even with measures such as that (the storage facility was secure), we are still barely compliant. If somebody can attack your account at MtGox, they can probably do the same on TradeHill, there is just more people/money on MtGox.
