Looks like MagicalTux was lying about the wacky trades then.  When Mtgox got rooted the first time, everyone was forced to change their passwords to new, more complex ones.  Here we've got a prime example of somebody who's got both complex and DIFFERENT passwords on each site, and he still had his mtgox wallet stolen.

  • Bitcointalk had a comedy javascript added to the bottom of the page via unsanitized input because the forums admins refused to use current-versions (SMF 2.x) of their forums software.  So far nobody's posting accounts have been compromised or hijacked apparently.
  • Mtgox had some clearly chaotic trading activity on Sunday 9/11/2011, which was sourced from a ton of accounts that had different/more complex password requirements than bitcointalk forum accounts.

Yeah, those two attacks aren't related.

Magicaltux is lying to you, and he now controls both Bitcointalk and Mtgox.  

So... Who said paypal's worse than Bitcoin?  


repeat with me, mtgox is not bitcoin
