Topic: Possible false alarm: MtGox break in - page 6. (Read 15376 times)
It would be a big deal if hundreds of people were coming here complaining that their mt gox accounts were hacked AGAIN.
either way, mtgox is not a bank, so do not treat it as such. your a fool to think anything else.
...
Help me understand why this is not more of a big deal?
I remember a similar event a few weeks ago. The user presented himself as a competent individual, but eventually MtGox looked at their logs and presented a pretty compelling argument that it was user error. The dude probably got keystroke logged IIRC.
I'll sit on the fence until either 1) more similar events pop up, or 2) MtGox presents evidence from their logs which explains things. It is easy for me to fence sit here though since I'm not an MtGox users
(Disclosure: I've had some very low buys in in case MtGox crashes the train. Been in for a long time and it has not happened yet.)
I also am finding this hard to believe that this is really DiabloD3d, it does not make sense, that he would issue a statement of this magnitude in this way.
This would be a major incident and it wouldn't be reported in such a short and easy way like this.
I would believe that his forum account is hacked. The hackers that did the CosbyCoin hack probably set this up in order to have some more of their fun down the road.

At this moment, I'm questioning if DiabloD3 really posted this thread, I smelll something fishy here.
Maybe the forum (or DiabloD3 account) is compromised again.
Wouldn't the staff members be the first ones to secure their accounts on the forum, even before it went back online after the hack? Maybe the forum (or DiabloD3 account) is compromised again.

It is a big deal. Don't let the sound of these forums silence on the ordeal or many other issues currently running with Bitcoin make you think that no one cares.I made this post for Bitcoin Media http://bitcoinmedia.com/the-bitcoin-communities-find-the-place-right and I am thinking about making a more updated and detailed post if enough people request it, as since it's posting these forums turned into CosbyCoin among other hackings and other happenings. I would side with gusti so far on the 'maybe this isn't DiabloD3' at all way of thinking, but at this point of the day, someone associated with him would have already denied or confirmed something else if it wasn't the truth posted here. Or not, who knows lol.
Yep, that's my suspicion too. Easy to cry wolf these days, everyone is already biased one way or another...
Anyone got a confirmation from DiabloD3 that he was indeed the one to post this?

It seems Mt Gox has been broken into again. My account was just liquidated and send to a foreign address, the IP of which seems to be in the Ukraine. I assume I was targeted because I'm a Bitcoin developer.
Since I use Linux and use unique high entropy passwords, I am ruling out any nonsense like local trojans.
Everyone: Clear out your accounts if you have anything in them.

So here we have a staff member.
Linux user.
Knows to use strong passwords.
Has no reason to lie.
Had this account hacked before and right before he mentioned this on the forum shtf.
Probably did not use the same password here on the forum and on mtgox.

I didn't say it was. I said MagicalTux is lying to you.
Yes you did...
OH MY GOD! The same fucking mistake in another thread... You are really an awful(pun intended) troll...
You can't distinguish projects that deal with Bitcoin from Bitcoin itself.
Do yourself a favour and STFU you bescumbered ninnyhammer!
you're still missing the main point :
despite all trolls fuding (not implying this for you), bitcoin (not the exchanges, not the online wallets, not the service providers around it) is still working flawlessly
and I'm beginning to think that bitcoin is unbreakable ...

If the only bitcoin-related-thing that works is the protocol itself, then it's still a massive failure as a whole.
you may call sony "a massive failure" because it's site was hacked ... give it some time, bro, bitcoin is in the path of being a massive success
I would feel much calmer if withdrawals of BTC could be locked down by IP address and/or PGP key...
Good ideas. If you don’t have one yet, a MtGox Yubikey should do the same job. you're still missing the main point :

or much simple email a confirmation code, like e-gold
you miss the question then, correct one is : Who said paypal's worse than mtgox ?
Point taken. Let's do the apples-to-apples comparisons:
Who said USD is worse than Bitcoin?
Who said Paypal is worse than MtGox?

There we go - I knew I saw it somewhere but couldn't remember exactly where.

Paypal and MtGox are completely different services. Bitcoin is dollars and Paypal all together.
