Earlier quoted context omitted.

It seem to have https now, and Firefox reports a legitimate certificate. So at least there's that. :)

Legitimate (according to the rather dubious standards of SSL certificates), but it's not the same certificate they used to use, issued to Tibanne Co.

At least it is the same CA, DigiCert (AFAIK). DigiCert has fairly high standards so they probably examined closely when a different org requested an EV cert for that domain. For what that's worth.

I have an interesting question. Currently my AUD$ balance is displaying as $0. However in December and Febrary I had asked to withdraw $1,000 and ~$400 to my Australian bank account. Those transfers were taken from my balance, but merely sat as 'confirmed' rather than 'processed'. What happened to my money?

same here, I mourn 2700€ missing in action.

My late December withdraw arrived my bank 3 days before MtGox closed, btw., but I am not to positive if the money is still on it's way.

Get ready for more stealin'.

It was dumb to trust an exchange with your coins in the first place, dont make the same mistake again,

My advice to all bitcoiners, unless your bitcoins are in your wallet on a computer you own, it is not your bitcoins.

Be careful. It's entirely possible Mt Gox has been hacked -- it wouldn't be the first time. EDIT: No 2FA, no https, and all data shown has already been stolen by hackers. I'm assuming it's probably real, but still -- be careful.

Yes, this could be true.i was able to login using bogus account details earlier https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7419657

Yes, you're probably right, I just recall very clearly that they had emphasized in all of their security warnings to check for the certificate from Tibanne Co, and the current certificate is not.

You cannot trade there anymore, it's only to check your account balance.

I have to disagree.

Its only to check their account balance. Not yours.

I just want them to delete my data.

Amen. Particularly the passport scans and other personal information.

Yeah, that's my major worry too.

I am 95% sure that I never sent them a passport scan. I remember getting as far as scanning it into my computer before my "what-the-fuck-am-I-about-to-do-ometer" went haywire. But it was a long time ago and I can't be 100% sure that I didn't send it to them. I'd really like some way of finding out.

The only email I ever got from them was a "thanks for registering, please confirm your email address" email, so I think that means I never took it past that point (there's no "thanks for verifying your identity" email).
