Your password was probably brute forced from the user dump like mine was. Mine wasn't super simple either.
I call this BS. My hash is up there - go and try to brute force it. I guess I'll see you in several years/decades.
> If someone gained admin level user account why would they go to the lengths of SQLi to get the database?
My account still had admin access. They were able to get my account password because of the SQLi
Mt.gox says
they he doesn't know:
In order to audit and verify this percentage, the previous owner retained an admin level user account. This account was compromised. So far we have not been able to determine how this account’s credentials were obtained.
Mistakes were obviously made but I don't think Mark is being greedy or incompetent here. He needs to hire more people and he knows this. But which if you have ever tried to do you know takes time which he doesn't have much of these days.
No, it doesn't if you offer adequate reward, hence greedy.
The server has been down for more than two weeks now and I can't get a response from him despite sending several emails
Hence, incompetent.
A monkey can restart server and fire away an email.

were "assigning these simply numbers"
We would like to note that the Bitcoins sold were not taken from other users’ accounts—they were simply numbers with no wallet backing. For a brief period, the number of Bitcoins in the Mt. Gox exchange vastly outnumbered the Bitcoins in our wallet.
to themselves for us to enjoy this remarkable growth period? It is fairly easy to make profit when you have access to all the data, isn't it?
Just sayin
