Mt. Gox, a leading bitcoin exchange that late last month filed for bankruptcy protection, has updated its website to allow customers to log in and verify their wallet, or account, balance.
People who purchase a full Office 365 Home Premium subscription - which includes the Outlook email programme, Excel spreadsheet software and PowerPoint presentation tool - will be able to use OneNote functions that are better integrated with other Office programmes and get 20GB of cloud storage.
Mt. Gox filed for bankruptcy protection in Japan on February 28, saying it may have lost 850,000 bitcoins - worth around $520 million at current prices - to hackers. It has since gone through a similar process in the United States.
A spokesperson reached via a helpline for Mt. Gox creditors confirmed that Mt. Gox set up the log-in, based on the last available data from the exchange's servers before they shut down.
Leaked information from various hacking attacks on Mt. Gox servers and CEO Mark Karpeles' personal blog and Reddit account have been released in recent weeks, and one file purporting to be the company's internal database contained malware that could steal bitcoins once downloaded.
Besides the log-in option, the Mt. Gox homepage carried a statement in English and Japanese saying: "Please be aware that confirming the balance on this site does not constitute a filing of rehabilitation claims under the civil rehabilitation procedure and note that the balance amounts shown on this site should also not be considered an acknowledgment by Mt. Gox of the amount of any rehabilitation claims of users."
