Yes about 60k people are now at risk of getting their life work stolen because MtGox should be put to jail or guillotine as some others have suggested but im not sure about that
A bankrun on MtGox will cause them to go Bankrupt.. they are on Fractional Reserve with Bitcoins.. They don't have them.
Selling for USD then withdraw the USD funds is the safest option, especially when you can sell at 17.5$ and buy at 12$ at other xchs

So now you are acknowledging the situation and providing updates but what about an inclusion of a simple apology/saying "We're Sorry" to your customers, is that too much ? 
Big risk in acknowlidging you are wrong. So they won't say they are sorry.
It'd be like saying "Im guilty" in court.

These fucking clowns should have stuck to selling magic the gathering cards.
true that
Re: URGENT: What is next and legitimate on MtGox after the security issue?
What's your suggestion?
SELL
That's mine.
Don't sell, bitcoin wasn't compromised.SELL
That's mine.
But bitcoin doesn't have to suffer from Mt Gox problems.
I've heared only good things of Trade Hill.
It's great time to close your Mt Gox account and move somewhere else to make it clear that such a poor-secured service is not acceptable.
I agree with this. Mt Gox is responsible here. Mt. Gox needs to pay up. Something like this could realistically kill BTC if people see things like this are possible and exchanges dont back them up.
I agree.
I would rather look at MtGox owners. They should take the losses, not rollback.
And refund the guy who lost 500k bitcoins. With a few million $.
They are breaking exchange laws with what they are doing now, they can be put in jail.

Re: ALL mtgox password has been compromised, change asap, everywhere you used it
If the salt hasn't been compromised, then the passwords should be safe, no?
It's not entirely clear if the attacker got access to the Mt.Gox source code, but at the moment it's probably safer to assume the salt was compromised as well.
there is no >the salt< in this case it's 59231 password hashes with 59219 >different< salts. and ~1700 simple md5 hashes.well look at what some of the users have in there rigs and there are programs like Extreme GPU Bruteforcer out there that can do up to 700million passwords a sec on a geforce 250 and with what people here have in there rigs it would not take long at all.
we're talking about md5crypt a.k.a MD5(Unix) a.k.a. FreeBSD MD5 ...not simple md5()!with a decent gpu you'll be lucky to get ~1.5Mhash/s per gpu, not 700M. On a single HD4870 i'll get ~640.0k/s , that's nothing.
anything else than a wordlist attack is pretty useless on these hashes. so if you have a at least decent 8char pass, you should be fine.
if you're one of the poor guys, who's pass was encrypted with simple md5()...well good luck then. but the rest shouldn't worry too much.
however everyone still should change his password when they are back online
Except that an account with 500k and other accounts were hacked and it's true. So you're opinion that it's all ok is bs.
Re: 3 interesting replies found at mtgox website about the rolling back
MTGOX IS NOW NAKED SHORT ON BITCOINS. IT DOES NOT HAVE THE BITCOINS IT SAYS IT DOES
THEY ARE MANIPULATING THE MARKET BY NOW SETTING THE PRICE TO 17.51
THEY ARE MANIPULATING THE MARKET BY NOW SETTING THE PRICE TO 17.51
but how do you know this?
I know this because people have withdrawn bitcoins from MtGox to their personal wallets (look around people said this on this forum).
This means MtGox no longer has the Bitcoin it's supposed to have.
MtGox should not rollback, but instead continue and refund the hacked accounts who lost bitcoins.
If they rollback they should be put in jail for breaking the law. This is not how exchanges are allowed to function by law.
If they cant get the passwords because they're hashed, then... ummm, how did they do it?
What do you think Bitcoin miners are doing? Cracking hashes.
What do you think the passwords are protected with? Hashes.
So it's easy to crack hashes passwords, takes a few minutes per password, as long as it takes to crack a new Bitcoin block (about 10 minutes) is how long it takes to crack a hashed password.
