what do these hackers achieve from attacking mtgox its not liek they stealling any btc or usd, besides maybe manipulating the btc price a lil i dont really see the point of these attacks
There is always the possibility that they are using "attacks" as an excuse for incompetence or worse. It does seem odd that MtGox starts having consistent problems with "attacks" just about the time Ripple is ready for open beta. Who owns Ripple again? oh yeah the same people as MtGox.can atually see your point maybe turning people off bitcoin on to there own run system with ripple means much more profit for them.... i wonder if theyd sell the mtgox site
id happily buy it and shove it on some UK servers then wed have an exchange to go with out blockchain.info
