I am absolutely sure  everything around us is a CIA conspiracy! Or maybe I'm paranoid? But hey, the fact that I'm paranoid doesn't mean they are not out there to get me! They got bin laden after al... |

Personally, my feeling is that wherever there is a large amount of money to be had, there will be international hackers trying to get at it. Mt. Gox allegedly had a SQL injection attack which are typically pretty easy to test for as a hacker (and embarrassingly easy to guard against both at an input filter level and the base database level). Occam's razor eliminates the spooks this time.
Besides, if we are going to blame a government, why not the Chinese or North Koreans? They stand to lose more from a decentralized currency.

Not big enough yet to warrant CIA action. Once it pops to $100 and mafias get in on it, then it will start getting heavy.

I disagree. Any countries that utilize a central bank (just about all of them) would stand to lose against a decentralized deflationary currency. If said country's currency happens to be the world's reserve, then the bar just got raised even further. If bitcoin got big, the biggest loser would the good ole US of A and the the 12 private banks that make up its Federal Reserve. |

It turns out that one of the computers owned by the people that were doing the security audit was compromised and thats how the hackers got a hold of a database dump. Mtgox was not actually hacked itself.

Maybe they didn't crack Mt Gox, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were involved with the DDoS of mining.bitcoin.cz. When a bitcoin was less than a penny, they were all sitting there going, "Oh, those cute kids," but now 1.0 BTC is real money. (Honestly, the CIA couldn't care less. The NSA will be the lead agency on this one.)  |

It seems bitcoin is now at stage 3, "than they fight you" so victory is close!
