1  Economy / Service Discussion / Mt. Gox User Information Hack on: March 04, 2014, 01:41:41 AM
I was hoping that you guys could help me remember the specific information that Mt Gox requested from its users to create an account (ex. name, email, phone #?, personal address?, etc.), or better yet, could somebody post a screen capture of the first personal information page that users had to fill in?

Mt. Gox was the first exchange that I had looked at when I first started researching Bitcoin. I filled out most of the personal information forms that Mt. Gox requested, but decided not to follow through when they requested my passport, and chose to use Coinbase instead.

Obviously, I’m very thankful that I never traded on Gox (and my heart goes out to those who had their assets trapped), but I am fairly concerned about the new revelations that hackers took Mt. Gox’s user identification information. I’m feeling pretty paranoid (but maybe not enough?), so I’ve already changed my main email’s password (already utilize two-factor authorization), but am not sure what other information I handed to Gox, or if I need to take additional precautions (like changing my main email).

Any guidance on this would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

P.S. I posted this on the bitcoin reddit too, but haven't heard anything yet, and hoped that you guys could help.
