Offtopic sort of but I find it neccessary to be said:

Anyone having Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Google+ or similar account or is using any of services provided by (major) corporations or other service providers who are heavily backed
by the system and is involved with cryptocoins at the same time is an idiot, period.

Jon has done a lot for the progression of Bitcoin over the past years.

Not a nice thing to say mate!

Yes but how the f- does the man who ceo'd Hushmail get his Twitter 'hacked'?

That might have been the problem. Not

Just a heads-up that the guy's twitter account looks cleaned up, but the last post downloads a binary:

Code:

  file ~/Bitcoin.exe 
  Bitcoin.exe: PE32 executable for MS Windows (GUI) Intel 80386 32-bit Mono/.Net assembly

  SHA256 (Bitcoin.exe) = 8de78e122abe638554cd3e824e7d13975cb3886817e4666aeee081dc77e10ace

Caution is advised for those on Windows. Put more clearly, it would likely be a bad idea to execute it.

Edit: Aaaand it's gone! If anyone wishes to take a crack at de-compiling it, PM me.

Almost certainly Jon's twitter account has been hacked.

Sure, it can't be Twitter staff is doing it on command, for fun or something else. Why would they do it? They are just cool company offerring "make your stalker's life easier" services,
heavily backed by anti-cryptocoin kind of people, no?

The tinfoil is reaching critical mass.

There was a tweet at 20.35 today from Jon's account with a fake MultiBit link that was complete garbage.
Apparently it is some Visual Basic malware.

Almost certainly Jon's twitter account has been hacked.

edit: This tweet has now been deleted.

Sorry about all the confusion, this is my personal address, donations are appreciated: 14yMcPkqUVYrXFLwxJdSS34ae7reFmg5PJ

With the long weekend in the US this could take until Tuesday to resolve.

It looks like the cracker has figured out he has been spotted and he moved his 0.5387 stash of loot to 14yMcPkqUVYrXFLwxJdSS34ae7reFmg5PJ.

I assume it's a he.

Some people actually want to run legitimate businesses and NOT run their business through tor..

1NmjJSDfSTRy6Ez4USyKct1mXgwteJvqfj - is the address now on his twitter account and that he tweeted.

1BTCorgHwCg6u2YSAWKgS17qUad6kHmtQW - Is the real Bitcoin Foundation donation address (https://bitcoinfoundation.org/donate)

Well, not everyone is doing such crazy, brave, and subversive activities as ironing Bitcoin patches on to Chinese textiles.

To say that I was underwhelmed by the 'mega' aspect of the 'megastore' which I just had a peek at would be a bit of an understatement.

I would also point out that '(major) corporations' provide almost everyone with edge connectivity (your isp) as well as carry backbone traffic. And they have a pretty high degree of control over 'your' packets. So, if on is an 'idiot, period' for relying on '(major) corporations or other service providers', we are pretty much all idiots.

If you are dealing with cryptocoins but not route your traffic through TOR and use multiple levels of protection from being tracked and profiled than yes, you are idiot. Good luck!

So you are running a business based on TOR? OK. Luck to ya...and to your customers...

and is involved with cryptocoins at the same time is an idiot, period.

'idiot' is a technical term which probably does not apply. Fun though.

I'll agree with the statement, but with some modification. ...using, for mission critical things, any of the services... It is unwise and probably impractical to avoid many of these services in 2013. But from a system design perspective, they should be treated as resources which have less reliability than might be desired. And a failure mode which will likely be associated with other system failures.

Jon Matonis' Twitter feed has been strange. There have been strange tweets that stay up for a few minutes and then are deleted.

For example, something like "I have an emergency situation please send Bitcoin donation to 1NmjJSDfSTRy6Ez4USyKct1mXgwteJvqfj".

And then, "I am selling my personal mining rig DM me for information".

Keep an eye on the feed, it's strange. I'm sure he's locked out of his own account. I suppose the Foundation can confirm whether the donation address belongs to them.
