OH HAI GUISE!
so, i've stumbled upon some "lame" vulnerabilities in mybitcoin.com that affect mainly normal users.
I've tried to contact the owners without success so basically this thread serves as a warning to all mybitcoin users that in a week's time i'll disclose the vulnerability details if they don't get fixed.
my advice is to have few coins in the mybitcoin wallet...they can easily be stolen by other users without you noticing...(well, you'll notice when the balance is 0).
Cheers,
hybriz_

A week is too short for lower traffic sites. Have you tried #bitcoin-otc on freenode? Otherwise, stop trolling  |

it's been like 4 or 5 days now since I tried contacting them... on IRC, via message in their service.
apparently no one knows who are the owners and they are rumored to be missing.
just because of this warning, i bet many people will try and find the easy vulnerabilities... maybe by Wednesday i'll disclose them :-)
in the mean time, PROTIP: don't keep much money there unless you're willing to loose it.
Cheers,

It's not a high traffic site compared to mtgox. So good luck taking much out. Also it's Memorial Day weekend. People will be out til Monday night. |

You mean the fact that the captcha always uses the same background, same font, same number of characters, same 3 colours on characters, same purple colour on the 2 brush strokes over the characters every time? |

A service like that is needed: Are there any similar fully developed sites*?
*MT. Gox merchant API is supposed to be better in the new version coming soon, any others?

I'm not surprised. MyBitcoin is still accepting payments with only 1 confirmation, which would allow some of the larger pools to steal BTC right now.

Is there another more secure web wallet that we can use?

Mtgox or maybe instawallet for short term. Confirmations are low in OTC as well. Perhaps it just needs to be updated. |

System is now down for maintenance.

"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."

How is the captcha any different? I just went and reloaded a few times and it's still the same as I described: always uses the same background, same font, same number of characters, same 3 colours on characters, same purple colour on the 2 brush strokes over the characters every time?
I'm not saying it wouldn't be a challenge, but in the state it's in at the moment, I'm sure I could crack it in a couple of weeks. |

How is the captcha any different? It's case sensitive. |

If I'm in a situation where I need to use an internet cafe, I'd rather have a few coins online than plug my wallet.dat into some public pc's usb port. |
