At 8:30PM PST tonight I received an email notification that money had been transfered out of my Mtgox account totalling $2777 USD. Somebody who accessed my account bought BTC at 128.9 and then transfered the entire contents of my account out except for $7.00 .I was logged into my own computer at the time in Bellevue,WA. The trade notification from MTGOX lists the IP as 63.141.253.124 which shows in the state of Kansas. I have opened three help tickets with MTGOX, two were closed with no notes or notification and no response in the last hour twenty.

My question for the forum;

Is there any recourse on my side?

Has this happened to anybody else?

Will I get my money back?

If i get my money back I will immeadiately purchase a Yubikey for some two-factor authentication

THanks,

Your bitcoins are gone.  Sorry you had to learn the hard way.

THanks,

The IP is a colo in Kansas City.  Odds aren't good, they're probably using a server there that they hacked, you'll have to track down the administrator of that server, convince him to let you look at logs there, and those may simply point to another hacked server.

Money's probably just gone.

Yeah all money was being used to "day trade" btc to make some extra cash. Not local wallet, MTGOX was hacked.

A yubikey is a device that adds a 2nd authentication method to your MTGOX account.
