Hi everyone
We are once again very sorry to hear what's happening to many of you and that once again Bitconica has been the victim of a theft.
As far as Mt.Gox is concerned and as Genjix explained, we did not suffer any breach or any hack, all other account are safe and the thief only targeted Bitconica's account. Mark (MagicalTux) has been in contact with many Bitcoin players since this announcement and offered any help we can give, but unfortunately all funds (USD & BTC) are no longer within our reach.
Once again, someone with a US IP succeed to get Bitcoinica's account credential which did not trigger any alarms since they were fully identified. Since Bitconica's account was a verified account the owner of this account asked (This happened when Zhou was still controlling Bitconica) to have his limits lifted to the maximum possible, giving the possibility to the thief to move Bitcoinica's assets to another external account (External to MtGox).
Despite our effort on securing Mt.Gox and protecting everyone's asset I would like to remind everyone that it is also your responsibility to secure your account with a very strong password and use either a Yubikey or Google Auth (You can even use both at the same time).
Of course and within our capacity we at Mt.Gox are ready to give a hand in anyway we can to help Bitconica's team.
Mt.Gox
So you Verified and lifted the limits to the Max for a 17 year old boy, Bruno there goes your unanswered question about Mtgox approving minors.
Zhoutong, In my eyes you are the one to blame because this is your fault for not letting me know you was going to sell bitcoinica to intersango. You lied and sold private property trusted in your hands. Unfortunately somebody has to take responsibility for my 16,000 missing bitcoins.
Mtgox, you verify a 17 year old, is that legal to do? Please answer.
Maria.
