- Recently, Mt. Gox announced payback for its creditors
- This morning, creditors faced failed login attempts
- According to the Mt. Gox claims portal, it is temporarily down for maintenance
So, we wrote that Mt. Gox is going to pay its creditors $9 billion worth of BTC and $73 million of BCH over the next few months.
All this was due to a hacker attack in 2014, after which Mt. Gox suffered huge financial and reputational losses, namely 850,000 Bitcoins.
However, the promised payouts since July are not going smoothly, and today, users have encountered problems on the Mt. Gox claims portal when trying to authorize.
What Сould Be Going On?
According to Mt. Gox claims portal is temporarily down for maintenance.
Reddit users, in particular, ovkovk, raised the theme of whether this could be another hack since the attackers know about the recovery of assets and upcoming payments.
Also, user Joohansson joined the trend and shared that “such attempts have been made on their Mt. Gox account previously, and that accounts enabled with 2FA-a popular security authentication system-are presumably safe.”
We will keep a close eye on further developments.
However, we hope that everything will be resolved in the best way because the victims of this crime have been waiting for compensation for a long time.
