TradeHill is back up.
We have made a few changes in regards to security:
As of right now we have given our users 12 hours to change their passwords.
Implemented a captcha system (no we don't like them either)
Lock accounts out after several failed attempts.
We are being bombarded with attempts to access our site using the Mt Gox account list.
We have disabled a number of accounts to prevent unauthorized access.
If your account is disabled send us an email.
More changes are on the way.
Regards,
Jered

As noted in the other thread, giving us the option to change our email's (if possible) would go along way to improving security.

Or how about a forgot password reset system?

Great.
Dwolla also implements a PIN number system in addition to their password. Which is painless and adds another bit of security.
I will check you guys out later in the day.

I'd gladly trade on TradeHill, if I could get a password reset. It's genius not allowing me to reset it...

i've changed my password - although i wasn't prompted to do so when i logged in a few (five) minutes ago.
i won't have to do it again, will i? that is: is a site-wide prompt to change passwords still coming?

Passwords: We have been resetting passwords manually. If we can handle the volume manually we won't implement the automatic feature when we can devote time to other security issues. For the moment send an email to info@tradehill.com and we will reset it immediately. PIN: It's in the works. We would prefer to keep unauthorized users out but a pin on withdraws would be an additional level of security. Email changes: They are currently the account names. We're looking in to options here and will announce changes to the system. |

How can people be so blind and dumb and believe that something popping out of the blue, offering to facilitate a service will actually work. These Tradehill people may have good intentions, but who can handle this type of traffic such an exchange is receiving. And who can handle having all the geeks on the internet attacking them all the time.
I am sorry, but unless a big corporation or a bank steps in with some serious money backing it up this is a just mtgox.com all over. Errors are already popping up and the software is untested and repairing it on the fly just doesnt work!!! Its about money people, MONEY!

<helo> funny that this proposal grows the maximum block size to 8GB, and is seen as a compromise
<helo> oh, you don't like a 20x increase? well how about 8192x increase?
<JackH> lmao

I just had a funny thought of the Trade Hill guys sitting around in diapers today, so that they don't have to take the time to go to the bathroom.

We will be adding a feature to reset your own account soon but we are receiving a lot of hack attempts and do not want to rush anything that could potentially be exploited. |

Could you elaborate a little on these hack attempts and how secure your site is? |
