Marred Bitcoin exchange MtGox's website is back up and running. Somewhat.

Customers are now able to log in, check account balances, and verify their digital wallet. No transactions will be able to be made.

MtGox filed for bankruptcy protection in late February, saying it had lost some 850,000 Bitcoins -- worth about $520 million -- to hackers.

The MtGox statement had the following message in English and Japanese:

Important announcement to all users confirming their account

This balance confirmation service is provided on this site only for the convenience of all users.

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 MtGox Co., Ltd. of the amount of any rehabilitation claims of users.

Rehabilitation claims under a civil rehabilitation procedure become confirmed from a filing which is followed by an investigation procedure. The method for filing claims will be published on this site as soon as we will be in situation to announce it.
