Topic: mybitcoin.com potential lawsuit - page 3. (Read 6049 times)
actually if you'd bothered reading the standard eula for most websites it specifically tells you to use a password you do not use anywhere else. If you didn't do this it absolves mybitcoin from all liability. cya later.
Please stop spreading FUD unless you have some evidence that they were hacked. For now it looks like some users had shared password on both MtGox and mybitcoin.com. And to me, that version looks very probable.
They too? Are you sure? Are their passwords hashed?
I thought it's because many users might use their mtgox pwd for mybitcoin (and the mtgox db was leaked).

no, it's not about users not changing their passwords
mybitcoin's database was hacked.

is that speculation or based on something i just do not know about?

Lol why should mybitcoin be sued? Because idiotic users are to lazy to use strong passwords and use the same password in the whole www? That's simply the price they have to pay for that lection but I assume suing other people is easier. 
Yes, you are right. I am glad I dont use mybitcoin.com

There is probably a potential lawsuit against mybitcoin.com for negligence.
Numerous users have complained about the theft of bitcoins from mybitcoin.com

If they were aware of the potential security breach and did not take adequate measure to protect their members they could be liable.
They would be held to a reasonable standard.
It seems Tradehill and Mt. Gox halted trading until passwords were reset to protect their members accounts.
That is the standard they should be held to.
I am not clear if mybitcoin went that far.
They have this message on their site:
IMPORTANT NOTICE - PLEASE READ!
MTGOX was recently hacked. Their password list was stolen and leaked to the internet. If you have a MTGOX account and the password is the same as your MyBitcoin account you MUST change your password immediately or risk having your account compromised. You have been warned.
If that is all they did it would not be sufficient compared to what reasonable competitors did, and was not sufficient as many users lost their coins.
