Title: How secure is Mt. Gox *today*
Post by: joeblow2 on August 01, 2011, 07:29 pm
Ever since their massive password theft, I have heard very little about Mt. Gox.

I would really appreciate if the people who are "in the know" would post responses concerning any upgrades in code and bulletproofing that have been done at Mt. Gox.  Also, if nothing has been done since the break-in, that would be most helpful to know as well.

Thanks in advance to those who contribute good, factual information. :D

I would like to know too, given that TradeHill doesn't accept Dwolla anymore.

I haven't heard anything, though I vaguely remember something about a new backend they were working on being rushed into production after the incident. I can't seem to find a reference for that though. For now I'm assuming that they are still vulnerable, and taking proper precautions.

I'm surprised I haven't heard anyone else suggest this, but open source exchange software would probably be a good idea. I would feel a lot more comfortable leaving money in an exchange backed by open source software than one that seems to be put together by amateurs. I've also been thinking an open source marketplace project would be good, but figured Silk Road wouldn't be the place to talk about that...
