Hackers steal data from MtGox server and release it with Mark's reddit account.

[FeedbackLoop]

Since the data seems to have been stolen around the time MtGox shutdown or later the question would be ... why would you keep this information on a webserver if you aren't actively using it anymore?  

Lazyness.

My guess is the db was stolen from a business associate/employee.

left from the leaker:

Code:

<!-- I hated working with you.   You deserve everything you get for what you did. -->

Is that in the database itself? Could it be a message left there long ago?

Just playing devil's advocate.

I haven't downloaded anything due to fear of malware, but would I be able to get my trade data off this?  I need it to do my taxes.

You can download it, its ZIP with plenty of CVS files (harmless text files). Do not run EXE files, or open PDF.

If you know your user guid (long hexa string you received with your registration), you can find yourself in the dump.

Although the info may be a smoke screen on it's face, it is likely to include valuable bits of info providing additional dimenions to inner workings of the organization and it's leadership; as such the data was sent to the 'CSI lab'  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=492776.0;all

there is no danger, the data is in csv(text) files..there is a /bin with executables, just ignore or delete this one.

Whoever is in charge of reorganization definitely did not do due diligence and take exclusive control of the company's servers, where ever they may be.  That should have been obvious once the nature of mtGox's business was understood.

1. There are no hackers and Mark made the leak himself (and did not reveal december, january and february in order to protect the ''thieves'')

On a closely related note to option #1, note that the original post and data dump is still posted on Mark's personal blog, several hours later.  I do find that somewhat suspicious.  It shouldn't have taken particularly long for Mark to notice, and to take corrective action to remove the post and data (assuming he is able).

Coulda been sleeping... its like the middle of the night over there.

Because he is too busy moving money, trying to hide his tracks & feeding his face in Starbucks.

I feel sorry for those that lost thousands due to the incompetence of Mark But they knew the risk was there by keeping that much money online on an unregulated exchange with no security to back it up.

This doesn't come as a surprise.

951K bitcoins, I guess the difference is Marks own BTCs, considering clients BTC is 800k, that's a hugeeeeeeeeeeee amount

This doesn't come as a surprise.

Today I learnt that Mark Karpeles paid $4,600/mo USD to rent his apartment. Boy, am I glad I didn't have one satoshi in Mt Gox, otherwise I would be one pissed off motherfucker right about now.

Dear hackers,

I hope you posses december, january and february data. Please investigate buys (huge ones) in yellow circles at Gox and match them with corresponding (huge ones) withdrawals.

Gox is on top, bitstamp lower and then btc-e.

I'm surprised that TBF is so kind now to help out. I'm not a conspiracy nut... Let me rephrase that!

[bananas]

All those leaks seems to be by Karpeles himself, probably to show authorities how "hackable" they are. Just when it would be possibly of his interest, everything Karpeles-related gets hacked: company, blog, reddit. Very strange. Yet more strange, is the lack of the 3 last months.

This is probably correct given the hackers gave us all data except for the one that matters (dec, jan, feb).

[Nathonas]

As the reddit post said, this looks like an attempt by hackers to pin the lost bitcoins on Karpeles. I don't think he's stupid enough to steal that many bitcoins for himself, especially when he's already rich.

Can anyone cross check my results here:  I skimmed this thread and didn't see it.

Also, has anyone found any hack attempts in any of the data files?  (I cannot get the dump file home to look at it until midnight due to quotas.)

And, I see Mark's blog on blog.magicaltux.net containing the original posting of the leaked data has finally been taken down.
