FYI, on The Bitcoin Show tonight, one of the Mt. Gox guys said that the ~400k transfer was them taking security measures by moving their BTC to a different wallet.
Someone else said it was a certain "Adam" on the show who said the 432k BTC txfer was MtGox transferring as a security precaution. "Adam" is not related to MtGox. (Sorry I forget where I heard about this Adam. I'll try to get clarification about this transfer.) But regardless, it worries that it was made (a minute) before MagicalTux appeard on IRC, where he was clearly just discovering the selloff, and hadn't started his investigation yet. Also it doesn't make sense that a "single account" was compromised and had hundreds of thousands of BTC in it. No one in his right mind keeps this amount of coins on MtGox (other than MagicalTux himself?), ask knightmb how he secures his 370k BTC  Adam works at MtGox. I think he's fairly new. |

Mike Hearn, the google fraud engineer who develops BitcoinJ, got the list and forced a password reset for all gmail accounts in that list.
I don't think that's true. I've just tried logging into dooglus@gmail.com which was on the list, and it's working as usual. I've not changed the password or been told about 'unusual activity'. I didn't use the MtGox password anywhere else though, so I'm not worried. It's true. Read the whole thread. |

http://blog.zorinaq.com/?e=55There is a massive amount of information on IRC and the forum threads. Hopefully I have done an okay job at summarizing the attack.. Pretty good timeline! As for when the database was leaked, it was at least 5 minutes before you show it at. theymos can look up the exact time, since the post wasn't actually deleted. |

I'm sure the tradehill guys all had MtGox accounts. They should already know about it.

A steals something from B and sells it to C. If C doesn't know that it was stolen from B, then if A demands that C give it back, he is demanding that a theft be committed. Period.
So, apparently, the police commit theft every day? Just be glad that you still get your money back. |

They say the market will be around $17.50 when they get back up..who are they to say what the prices are going to be tradehill has it at $13.50
The market will be NULL when it comes back up. They are wiping the order book. |

I told Mike about this thread, but he hasn't responded yet.
Anyway, our resident Google employee is currently locking every account on the MtGox list.
<TD> yep, sorry folks
<TD> there's no way to know which passwords will get reversed and found to be shared over the next 24 hours or so
<TD> this is a standard procedure when faced with password leaks

MagicalTux has stated that it's impossible for him to restore the orderbook. As such, I suspect that he'll just wipe it all out.

Umm.. You guys know that we've known our account numbers all along, right? You had to include it on all deposits to MtGox.

There will be a full revert. A major holder of Bitcoins was hacked. A statement is coming shortly.

By the way, understatement of the year:

Yes, I've received donations before. And if you had an address in your sig and you said something witty or just plain funny, you likely got 2 bitcents from me.

How come he's still allowed on this board?
We don't have the direct ability to ban people. That said, he's been handled appropriately. |
