I don't really know why I'm posting this, but my Mt. Gox account got hacked today, lost 8K USD, absolutely devastated, as it was my money for college. Be careful. I assume there's no recourse for this?
Fuck my life. Be careful, people.
How is this possible, when the withdrawal limit is $1000?
Estimated worth of BTC in USD?
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?
I mean, how can someone steal $8000 worth of coins in one day? They could withdraw $1000 of them due to Mt Gox withdrawal limit, then you could contact Mt Gox admin to retrieve the remaining $7000 worth in the theif's account.
The limit is for dwolla/lr/euro withdrawals, I guess. You can take out as many bitcoins as you want at any time.
Not true. Bitcoin withdrawals are also subject to the 1000USD daily value limit.
How did this happen then? Mt.Gox --> Mt. Gox transfer in BTC? It was withdrawn to bitcoin addresses.
He did use several bitcoin addresses, does that have something to do with it? According to the timestamps, this all happened in about an hour, total.
