I don't understand how this is possible. Did the guy have malware?
Maybe there is one in his device, how to detect the malware?

That can't be right. Why would you have the ability to enable 2FA whilst allowing someone to disable it without using 2FA? It just doesn't make sense. Surely the main added benefit of 2FA is to mitigate keylogger risk and password grabs, so you would be assuming an account can be comprised before enacting it.

It's amazing that an account under 2FA in Mt.gox can be hacked. This guy found his money withdrawn on May 31, 2013. Someone changed his password and cancelled all 2FA in Security Center. He says he didn't use his mobile phone to get on Mt.gox. How did the hacker get his private key of 2FA??
It's so terrible which means the 2FA maybe not safe.

I wonder if that it why you also have the option to 2FA the ability to change the security settings. Which is the 3rd step.
