Mt. Gox Creditors Reportedly Hit By Failed Login Attempts Amid Repayments

“Recently received fifteen notifications about account log-ins. Unable to access my account now. Is it possible that Mt. Gox is undergoing an attack?” posted Reddit user ovkovk on the r/mtgoxinsolvency forum. “Fortunately, I can no longer make payee information changes. Continually receiving login emails, with a total of twenty-two thus far.”

According to the Mt. Gox claims portal, maintenance work is currently being carried out and the site is unavailable during Asian morning hours on Thursday.

I, as an analyst, would rephrase that statement as follows: Based on the experience of user u/Joohansson, prior unsuccessful attempts have been made on their Mt. Gox account. However, they mentioned that their account is secured with Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), which is a widely used security measure, adding an extra layer of protection to their account.

The user implied that an attacker might have access to many gox email accounts, attempting to guess passwords through brute force methods. This has been observed in past occurrences. With two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled, you should ideally remain secure.
