Mt. Gox login is back
- cryowaffle 13y agoMisleading title, Mt. Gox is offering to accept login credentials and display pre-bankcruptcy balances.
- jpatokal 13y agoStill a lot more "back" than a blank page.

- tibbon 13y agoI have low hopes for retrieving my 0.00770912 BTC that were in there (I really don't know why I even had that much in there, but upon logging on... it seems I may have). But at the same time, I didn't see this page coming. I wonder why its there? What would one do with this knowledge except feel uncomfortable?
- patio11 13y agoThe smart money is on at least one person whose job description is Serious Business and was in a position of authority said "Wait, you owe people hundreds of millions of dollars... and that fact is only recorded by you, on a system which is currently inaccessible to the creditors? And they don't have paper statements or anything? OK, that gets fixed. TODAY. No, your reason for not doing it is not a reason not to do it."
- tibbon 13y agoNow that I think of it... if you had used this as an "investment", could you take it as a loss on your taxes? UPDATE: Checked with accountant, he's checking into it more, but very likely that you could take it as a casualty/theft loss for 2014. Will update more later.
- gkoberger 13y agoBe careful. It's entirely possible Mt Gox has been hacked -- it wouldn't be the first time. EDIT: No 2FA, no https, and all data shown has already been stolen by hackers. I'm assuming it's probably real, but still -- be careful.
- Xcelerate 13y agoIf they don't have a zero day browser exploit, is there any reason I need to be worried? (Assuming I use different passwords for everything)
- ChristianBundy 13y agoI don't know how their infrastructure works, but if they use your password to unlock your wallet this could be a phishing attack. Either way, the money is probably as good as gone anyway.
- ChuckMcM 13y agoThis was what I was thinking, there were the folks who hacked the place and dumped out the data and scribbled on Carpeles log, what better way to get the passwords to peoples wallets then to put up a phish on MtGox's own servers and have anxious users provide it. People log in, give their password, check their wallet and then poof all the coin gets moved out somewhere else. Seems pretty doable if you already have control of their infrastructure.
- pluies_public 13y agoIt seem to have https now, and Firefox reports a legitimate certificate. So at least there's that. :)
- lambda 13y agoLegitimate (according to the rather dubious standards of SSL certificates), but it's not the same certificate they used to use, issued to Tibanne Co.
- snikch 13y agoI have an interesting question. Currently my AUD$ balance is displaying as $0. However in December and Febrary I had asked to withdraw $1,000 and ~$400 to my Australian bank account. Those transfers were taken from my balance, but merely sat as 'confirmed' rather than 'processed'. What happened to my money?
- killerpopiller 13y agosame here, I mourn 2700€ missing in action. My late December withdraw arrived my bank 3 days before MtGox closed, btw., but I am not to positive if the money is still on it's way.
- blackdogie 13y agoAlso missing €400 that I had initialed a withdrawal in February 14.
- zoba 13y agoThey took off the two factor auth which was previously required to get into my account.
- yebyen 13y agoThey also removed deposits and withdrawals (sorry for being snarky... I do understand you probably feel violated again now that your balance information is available to anyone who had half of the security info that used to protect it) But, there is no further danger that your login will be used to steal funds from your account.
- staunch 13y agoI just want them to delete my data.
- tjaerv 13y agoAmen. Particularly the passport scans and other personal information.
- user24 13y agoYeah, that's my major worry too. I am 95% sure that I never sent them a passport scan. I remember getting as far as scanning it into my computer before my "what-the-fuck-am-I-about-to-do-ometer" went haywire. But it was a long time ago and I can't be 100% sure that I didn't send it to them. I'd really like some way of finding out. The only email I ever got from them was a "thanks for registering, please confirm your email address" email, so I think that means I never took it past that point (there's no "thanks for verifying your identity" email).
- SaltySailor 13y agoNow run by the DHS and the NSA!
- pistle 13y agoWe're in the money... we're in the money... da da da da da da da da da da da daa.
- flaxin 13y agodoes this mean users who had coin could get their coin[s] back? --- i think not (with the bankruptcy n' all) so login or no login, i don't see the point i think it's appropriate if i quote: 'frankly dear i dont give a damn'
- antocv 13y agoGet ready for more stealin'. It was dumb to trust an exchange with your coins in the first place, dont make the same mistake again, My advice to all bitcoiners, unless your bitcoins are in your wallet on a computer you own, it is not your bitcoins.
- CDokolas 13y agoMy balance is correct
- JonSkeptic 13y ago>Mt. Gox login is back In other news: I have a bear trap that is back and ready for anyone to stick their hand in.
- iLoch 13y agoI wouldn't touch this with a ten foot pole. The Gox code and DB where accessed, who's to say some hackers aren't recording your password and now your email is compromised too?
