Mt. Gox Analyst position filled by Safello Co-founder in Japan

In the wake of the infamous hacking incident at Mt. Gox, the world's largest Bitcoin exchange site, a new security firm has been established in Japan. Nanorays, co-founded by Emil Oldenburg and J. Maurice, aims to help prevent similar incidents in the future and provide assistance to Bitcoin start-ups.

The new firm has attracted the support of Softbank and is recruiting elite hackers from around the globe to bolster its team. Emil Oldenburg, previously a co-founder of Safello, has moved to Japan to lead the charge. J. Maurice, known as the Chief Hacking Expert for WizSec, brings valuable experience to the table.

Mt. Gox's downfall began when it halted withdrawals and eventually filed for bankruptcy, with losses estimated at over $600 million worth of Bitcoins. The mismanagement of such a significant amount of cryptocurrency has underscored the need for improved security measures in the industry.

Nanorays' focus is on reducing the need for trust in systems and preventing hacking, with the analysis of Mt. Gox's transaction records being a key part of their mission. The company's ultimate goal is to ensure the safety and security of Bitcoin transactions for all users.

As Mt. Gox faces lawsuits and criminal charges, the new security firm offers a beacon of hope for the Bitcoin community. By learning from the past and implementing robust security measures, Nanorays aims to build a brighter future for Bitcoin start-ups and users alike. J. Maurice expressed his appreciation for Oldenburg's help in establishing the company, and together they look forward to a secure future for Bitcoin transactions.
