Hang on just a second why would they cease trading to protect the pitiful goxcoin price if they are allegedly buying up all the cheep coins in an attempt to regain liquidity?
Run out of Fiat mark? Or that conspiracy theory just lost some ground.

This is not much of a denial of those news reports. Yikes.

Just viewed the source of mtgox again and I have just seen about 20 lines of code with the phrases "mark" ,"my account id: ,and my correct ip address showing in one of the lines, when i refreshed the page to make a screenshot it was gone and now back to this again:
MtGox.com
gox.com seems to be forwarding to mtgox.com. Is that new?
This whole thing looks like it could be a well-executed attack by some very influential actor (possible suspects include all kinds of hackers, law enforcement and intelligence services and Gox themselves). We've heard nothing from Gox that couldn't be just someone fucking with us.

... and is becoming less and less certain all the time. Sorry for the (apparently) false spark of hope. The only remaining hope would seem to be the page source of mtgox.com mentioning an apparent acq[uisition].

fatfuck is probably just buying some more time with this source so he can get off quietly and avoid angry customers. I hope i am wrong tho
Yes. Forget about what these people coming out with the instant public messages are saying. It is an industry wide problem, its not gox's problem or the customer's problem. Its the entire industry fucking up badly. Bitcoin is at stake as much as its customer funds on gox. Not the price of it, not whether you can speculate on it ,or what's low and what's high, sure that's still fine, but only if you can trust ANYONE in this community.
Oh, I see - the loading screen. Yeah, I got that, too - didn't even think about it. At first, I thought it might be me, so I checked with a VM machine using Firefox instead of Chrome "with some urgency." 
Heh, sorry about the scare. 
DNS attack shouldn't be able to adequately forge SSL certificate in most reasonable scenarios (though it's happened outside cert keys just being stolen/compromised - google comodo attack, allegedly done by a single guy). DNS attacker who was really specific (targeting crypto users, maybe) would probably just self-sign certificates for fake crypto websites and hope you click through the browser warnings (so to answer your question - no - or at least "no, I don't think so."). Idunno SSL cert mechanics well enough to fully answer you, though.

Yeah, I'm fairly certain they would need the keys to forge data... Unless you run Safari or iOS

Though I wouldn't completely write off the possibility that Gox had their keys stolen- at least this panic has a happy ending not requiring me to reinstall any of my machines yet again.
i think this might have been done purposely to deceive in to thinking gox is coming back.
Yes, though this thread has been entertaining, this is not what I'm seeing for HTML source.
Haha! You caused me to have a good freak out there, but I've figured out what's going on.
The first clue was that this was only happening to me in Chrome. (I have Chrome in super locked down mode with cookies and javascript disabled by default)
This is what I was seeing:
Please wait...
So you see, they set a cookie before refreshing the page.
End panic mode.
Seriously though, thanks for the heads up. Everything checks out SSL and DNS-wise.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but DNS attacks couldn't actually forge data under SSL, could they?
(Unless of course Gox's server keys were compromised)

Yea I also see it.
So either Gox is up for sale or its waiting to make an announcement about a new owner.
Or its sick joke as he waddles away laughing his ass off.

Could have been a good tactic to steal more money, if they left the market open.... i think this might have been done purposely to deceive in to thinking gox is coming back.

Makes no sense though.
