FWIW, a DDoS attack is not a hack. Nobody has broken into MTGox and accessed any sensitive data. It's essentially the same thing as having a few billion people visit the website and click refresh over and over again. The result is that the site runs slow or goes down. These attacks are pretty common and usually don't last all that long, if the victims have a clue what they're doing. Even Seals recovered from a DDoS after a day or two.
Are you saying MTGox has more resources than Sony? Sony also had the backing of worldwide governments to catch the hackers. Who will MTGox rely on?
Okay. I guess the reason I often get confused by your posts in this thread is that you quote something and then talk about something completely different.

Yes, you're right. If MTGox actually gets hacked, there probably won't be any recourse.
