Hugo, apologies for missing this original post. It is difficult to post anything publicly knowing the scrutiny that each word receives. Allow me to clarify: > I have failed you as a leader, and am completely devastated by today's discoveries. > I should have taken MtGox and Bitstamp's lead and disabled withdrawals as soon as the malleability issue was reported. I should have been online and aware of the news. > I was slow to respond and too skeptical of the possible issue at hand. I was offline and difficult to contact. > The transaction malleability bug was published last week at a time when I was disconnected from the internet for an extended period for OPSEC reasons. > I did not become aware of the threat until the attack was already occurring. I was contacted way too late, and only after taking everything offline to investigate did I have a chance to research potential explanations for the strange behavior of our accounting system.
