Anybody have an idea on how to do this?
Yes, it's very simple. All you need is a dice.  Cool

My password was never changed, I could still access my account - just the funds were converted to BTC and then transfered away.
So if it wasn't a XSS attack and the passwords were strong, it could only be that either the clients, the servers or the network traffic was compromised. Was any victim using linux? I tend to the servers, but how can you tell?

You forget how easy it is to stop all bitcoin network traffic by blocking packets with deep packet inspection. Maybe bitcoin over freenet has better chances, but with the resources goverments have it's almost impossible to not get blocked by DPI and packet fingerprinting/statistical methods, I think.

* CSRF vulnerability - not applicable to my account, the BTC were transfered at a time I could not access Mt. Gox at all, let alone be logged in.
Maybe a CSRF attack that changed your password and the funds were transferred later?

You should also encrypt your wallet when not in use.

In fact encryption is useless if you enter your password with your keyboard. If your computer gets compromised by a trojan it can read your password with a keylogger.

Quote from: kuloch
Part of the point of BitCoin is that everything is completely traceable.  Check out blockexplorer.com.  The "seller" does provide a uniquely identifiable piece of information with every transaction.  That is your digital signature, which only the account's owner can create.  However, the issue with wallet-stealing is that the private key used (in tandem with the public key or address) to create that digital signature is compromised, making the original account owner no longer the only account owner.
I wonder if it is possible to store my bitcoin private key on smart card.

0.23 € for renewable energy in Germany (solar and wind energy). Called "Ökostrom" in Germany Wink

I better take this and pay more than have my country to invade iraq, afghanistan and libya, like the americans do :p the more countries you invade, the more suicide bombers you get. this ain't good for anyone in the end.
