According to ChainCatcher, in the Mt. Gox creditor sub-forum "r/mtgoxinsolvency", several users reported problems logging into their accounts on the Mt. Gox website, and screenshots showed a large number of unauthorized login attempts on their accounts.

Some users worried that this might be a "brute force" attack on Mt. Gox creditors, but others thought it might just be a website malfunction.

Later posts indicated that the Mt. Gox website subsequently went into maintenance mode. The email read: "Thank you for your patience. Please check back later."
