đ¨đ¨đ¨ MT. GOX CREDITORS UNDER ATTACK.
Reports indicate that Mt. Gox creditors are facing 'brute-force' login attempts.
Someone is apparently trying to log into creditors' Mt. Gox accounts amid ongoing bitcoin (BTC) repayments, with several Reddit users reporting as many as 22 failed attempts as of Thursday.
âJust received 15 notifications for account log in. Now canât get into my account. Is Mt. Gox under attack???,â claimed Reddit user ovkovk in a trending post on the r/mtgoxinsolvency forum. âThank god at this point you canât do payee info change. Still getting log in emails. 22 so far.â
More than fifteen other users reported having received similar login notifications, suggesting that an unknown individual was trying to log in to a Mt. Gox â effectively to gain control of that account and likely withdraw any BTC received.
The Mt. Gox claims portal âis temporarily down for maintenanceâ as of Asian morning hours Thursday, the site shows.
One user u/Joohansson said that such attempts have been made on their Mt. Gox account previously and that accounts enabled with 2FAâa popular security authentication systemâare presumably safe
