Re: [Emergency ANN] Bitcoinica site is taken offline for security investigation
Anyhow. If they stole the private keys why would they make such a huge withdrawl? I would import those private keys into another bitcoind and make lots and lots of smaller withdrawls over the course of the next few months.
Obviously Zhoutong also has the private keys. He could proceed to move the remaining funds to an uncompromised account and save them.
If you get somebody else's private keys and you want to steal the funds, you need to move them before they find out.
I feel like the only reason he found out this time was because of the massive withdrawl.
I would sit on them if I had them. Sit on them and drain them for their worth slowly.
Well... at least that is what I would do if I was a malicious person, which I am not.
This is very interesting. Hopefully someone actually knows about the transfer.
And hopefully someone will finally learn a lesson from this.
You're probably right. Someone will. If not Bitcoinica, the users. lol

More 0.31337 BTC... Is it a message from the thieves or someone congratulating them?
Yeah that one was me actually. I figured it was a pretty 1337 hack.

Sign a message with the private key of the address 114t2bCfrmw44qgZQijNzVU75YphuyZCGk and I'll believe it was you.
As it was an address on my phone I can't easily do that. Instead I'll just send you an 31337 amount of coins.
Money sent to 1PKyq6aMKcCwn8cmb9Jc5SkNydLsQb5n7K.
Crazy. lol Address confirmed
I'll send it back to you once they confirm
No problem.
You can keep them if you want. 0.31337 isn't much BTC in the grand scheme of things. I have a hundred or so sitting around right now.
