Mt. Gox Creditors Face Multiple Brute-Force Login Attempts


Published Thursday 18th July 2024

Mount Gox, a prominent cryptocurrency exchange that infamously declared bankruptcy in 2014 after losing hundreds of millions of dollars worth of Bitcoin, is once again making headlines. Creditors who have been patiently waiting for the distribution of their recovered funds are facing a new wave of cyber threats. Multiple reports have emerged of creditors experiencing brute-force login attempts on their accounts, indicating a concerted effort by hackers to gain unauthorized access.

The situation has escalated to the point where the claims website for Mount Gox creditors is currently unavailable due to maintenance. This development has added to the frustration and anxiety of creditors who have been entangled in the legal proceedings surrounding the exchange's collapse for years. The unauthorized login attempts not only pose a direct threat to the security of individual accounts but also raise concerns about the overall integrity of the distribution process for the recovered funds.
