Anybody get something like this? I apologize if this has already been posted



When logging into my gmail account I also got a "suspicious activity detected" thing(probably bruteforcing) and changed my password just in case.
Fortunately I use strong passwords, so I don't have much to worry about, but for those who might not, be careful.

EDIT: I think this email is some kind of phishing or scam or something, I got a legit mtgox email before this one

If you get an email from someone you don't know, delete it. How is this hard?

Thanks!

Some of the usernames are hilarious, such as "hehehe\')waitfor delay\'0:0:20\'-" :allears:

True, because the buttcoin admins are only re-hashing the passwords. The usernames will probably be untouched. Which means they may still be vulnerable to a SQL injection attack. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

what is the waitfor delay supposed to do?

Like Millstone said, it's a piece of SQL code that was injected into a URL during the last attack. We've been told that the MtGox admins are re-hashing the user password database, but as yet they haven't mentioned the usernames. Which means some users who had their usernames overwritten with SQL attack code won't be able to log in.

But don't worry, MtGox is working on it! :v:

You actually have to do it that way, because you can't unhash their old password and rehash it with your new hashing scheme. The alternative is even messier (double hashing, but only for a subset of accounts).

Actually, no, you can go ahead and reset all pws after sending the user base a notice that pws will be reset. But then you and I are thinking about how professional IT shops run. Doesn't really apply in this case! Ah hahahahaha!

You can only do that if the user actually has an email registered, and quite a few people on mtgox haven't put in an email.

Sorry I wasn't clear. I meant that MtGox could have reset all the passwords to something secure, then sent a message out to all their users, telling them that they needed to log back in and change their password. Just like every other site on the freakin internet. Oh but MtGox didn't require an email address?!? HAHAHAHAHAHA!

OH no no no, my friend. This isn't the Kevin's Not The Hacker Interview. This is a new interview, with the CEO of mtgox and his right-hand buttcoiner. It's great stuff.

Their only marketable skill seems to be creating animations for their site logo and tv show intro (though I wouldn't be surprised if they hired a freelancer to do it) and they thought they'd build a media empire with just that and their love of bitcoins.

Just so everybody is caught up:


Bruce and Ed:
They are the ones who rented a huge studio in NYC to produce videos about buttcoins, but with an eye toward doing more hard-hitting journalism. They are morons, but very amusing to watch.
They're the ones who run the video channel which is up 24/7 no matter what, and host the very popular buttcoin interviews.


Mark and Adam:
These are the geniuses behind MtGox. Mark (aka the French guy) is the "CEO", Adam is the, uh...not sure what he is. He talks sometimes but mostly looks confused. Both of them are currently located in Tokyo.

I assumed it was an apartment, we have an address? Most apartments/condos have rules on how they are used, mostly about non-household staff, long-term guests and outside visitors for business purposes, I believe even in most places also for property taxing authority along with zoning, apart from property management.

In general you can't just use a residential apartment primarily as a business property.

They're in there for almost 12 hours at a stretch sometimes, and I'm telling you, they work on getting better. They put a lot of work into it. They're just so inept and clueless it takes them double or triple the time it would for someone with a minimal amount of skill and organization. Plus, and this is the big one...they have no deadlines, no one holding them accountable, so they just bumble along happily. I am serious when I say this is more entertaining than anything I've seen on TV in the last 10 years.
