All that can be modified is the TX ID which has nothing to do with amount of coins or where they are going. Its an annoyance that's all. Can't be used to steal funds or change where they are going. The only way it can be used is by tricking someone e.g an exchange into believing its real and the transaction didn't complete meaning they resend funds.

it this bug is only fixed by exchangers, what about normal users? Do they still get this problem? If only exchanger can avoid this problem, the bitcoin is dead.

There's already fixes out there for clients to stop it showing unconfirmed coins on your balance. I'm sure it won't be long before they patch the reference client with a proper patch but its really just an annoyance more than anything else it just makes accounting a little bit harder / have to double check. No funds are at risk which is the main thing.

Bitcoin is a new idea / technology there's always going to be bugs and really this isn't one to really worry about the bug was known about years ago.

I do not think so, my transactions was modified, the sender is not mine, thus I lost fund already, because I can not get my money back by rescanning blockchain, their data is not original, now I do not know how to find the unconfirmed money back.

Thus no fund are at risk is a lie. Many people lost fund already.

LOL what a POS you are.

Do you even know what was modified?

cheap coins at gox...  hmmmm.

Some would say worthless

And they aren't really bitcoins because you can't withdraw them, they are more goxcoins which are a promise of maybe getting a bitcoin sometime in the future.

I think, Mt.Gox will live because bitcoin users are very forgiving...

Delays, delays. Closed before any other exchange and still haven't fixed the issues.

I like the fact they will reopen bitcoin deposits but aren't doing withdrawals at the same time. I just hope no noobs will get caught out.

I just hope everyone gets there btc back and then we all let it die. Looking at the price I don't think people have any faith left in them.

mtgox has been the first to find the bug..  in the meantime all other exangers solved the bug and now are full working....  and they are still working ti fix it ??!!??###@@

Seems good news to me. As long as they're working on it, there's hope of them getting their shit fixed, and us getting access to our money again.

What a bunch of schmucks. Like anyone is depositing bitcoins in Mt. Gox right now?

This does suggest though that things are starting to wrap up, one way or another.

Maintenance Announcement Effecting Bitcoin transfers!
"
" "
Tokyo, Japan, February 15th, 2014!
"
Dear Mt. Gox Customers,"
"
In order to implement our solution to the “transaction malleability” issue being
faced by bitcoin exchanges and businesses, we are going to have a 6-hour
downtime on all bitcoin deposits and internal bitcoin transfers in addition to the
current pause on bitcoin withdrawals. Trading will otherwise still be open as
usual."
"
Maintenance Schedule (approximate): "
"
6pm ~ 12am JST (February 15th)"
"
The above downtime period is approximate: it may be shortened or lengthened
as required. Once the implementation is complete customers will again be able
to deposit bitcoin, but we will be doing extensive testing before bitcoin
withdrawals are reactivated. We will publish an update on the situation on
Monday ."
"
BlockChain.info have implemented changes to address the malleability issue.
Our solution should work in the short term, while a longer-term solution is being
discussed with the Bitcoin Core Dev team and the Bitcoin Foundation. We are
also discussing this with other exchanges and businesses. "
"
Thank you for your support during the maintenance, and we will update you on
the progress shortly
