This may be a hoax, but it is worrying:

EDIT: It is a fake  - addrsses were taken from http://pastebin.com/Kd093NQi

target: https://mtgox.com
finally MT.GOX is hacked by Anonymous
symbolic donation: send brain wallet with 1 btc to hackedgox@yahoo.com
and receive a link to full db
 
1000 logins example:
 


ton____        to___fri@yahoo.com
ch____an        pea____igan@gmail.com
r___opia la___e@yahoo.com
m__o   m___09@yahoo.com
[hundreds of email addresses]


I obscured the emails here, but they're public now, so if real... we have a problem and it's bigger than mtgox's lag.

Notice how all the emails are from yahoo. Don't you find it the least suspicious?

depends on how the db was sorted. Not necessarily, though that is a good point.

Well it does say 1000 example logins. So basically they withheld the other. I changed my password already.

I think it's just a scam - I tried a couple of accounts and couldn't get in, doubt they would change passwords - they'd just empty accounts.

Mine isn't in there either.

I use two-factor and a complex password, but given mtgox's general incompetence, I'd expect they store everything in cleartext, it would be par for the course.

Is that the old account list from the old mtgox hack or is it a new one?

Well duh, it's username and e-mail only.

I'm claiming that this is a bullshit.

Why would Anonymous hacked MTGox?

Perhaps they could do it for their own benefit but I think that a group of online hackers probably doesn't want to hurt an online currency which has the potential of other-throwing the corrupt major banking systems of this world.

That's so silly, most people don't know how to make a brain wallet!
They must not have raised much money.

There are 1009 email addresses on this new file.

There were 42166 email addresses on the leaked file from 2011 (including my own).

The intersection between the two files is 0.
