What's being reported on the news is that millions of Bitcoins were stolen from Mt Gox. But the Bitcoin Foundation blog says something different:
https://bitcoinfoundation.org/blog/?p=422
"Somebody (or several somebodies) is taking advantage of the transaction malleability issue and relaying mutated versions of transactions. This is exposing bugs in both the reference implementation and some exchange’s software.
We (core dev team, developers at the exchanges, and even big mining pools) are creating workarounds and fixes right now. This is a denial-of-service attack; whoever is doing this is not stealing coins, but is succeeding in preventing some transactions from confirming. It’s important to note that DoS attacks do not affect people’s bitcoin wallets or funds."
So is the transaction malleability issue Mt Gox is suffering from just a denial-of-service attack, or were Bitcoins actually stolen?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You in Advance.
