Comment on The “Stolen” Mt. Gox Data Contained Malware That Robbed Users Of Bitcoinparent

Comments

Not really. It's pretty damn hard to fake 700+MB of data, and a great many people have found their own records in it. No, this simply emphasizes that despite the initial window dressing, the hackers are in it for the money: they get whatever they stole with the trojan, and however much they can sell the rest of the dump for.

There's also the guy who posted on pastebin that he was selling people's data and would exclude for people for 0.25 BTC. Of course, people who used fake names/email addresses also got a positive hit when asking to get removed.
