News data celebrities expose the hackers who breached the blog of Mark Karpeles CEO of Mt. Gox and uncover an incredible scam. The data leaked from hackers last week, reported with documents taken from the Karpeles server that they have been stolen by hundreds of thousands of Bitcoins customers of the site.
The information leaked by the hackers at the time "proved" that Karpeles was holding duplicate "books" and that the Mt. Gox still had over 950.000 Bitcoins.
But that was just the beginning.
In addition to the files, the leaked data included some Bitcoin transactions, a biography of Karpeles, a screenshot apparently showing the exchanges' databases, and some software.
Experts from Kaspersky analyzed the leaked data and found that the software that was present along with all the other data contained a Trojan that was detected by Kaspersky as Trojan.Win32.CoinStealer.i .. This malware was designed to steal files from Bitcoin computer wallet infected.
The Trojan has been developed into Livecode, a programming language that can be used to create applications on multiple platforms. Cybercriminals have been able to place malicious files on both Windows and Mac on defaced blog
When their victims went to see the hacked and defaced blog and download Tibanne Ltd (the company that owned Mt. Gox) databases, via connectionthat the hackers gave them, they also downloaded the malware. So if they had Bitcoins on their computers it would magically disappear.
Stolen information and digital coins went to a remote server in Bulgaria. Meanwhile, the server has stopped working.
It was the attack scenario. Hackers knew that many of Mt's customers. Gox want to know what happened to their Bitcoins, so they deform the CEO's blog and start blaming him.
Naturally, customers were curious to see "the evidence" and so they downloaded the files. Since most deal with Bitcoins, the malicious software stole what he found on their computer.
