that is one big thread that btsx will not face .. BM is well known .. no secrets (not even market updates
)

Being well known isn't going to protect you from threats. The reason BM isn't under constant threat is because people don't suspect he is sitting on half a billion dollars. This is why I said days ago it's not a bright idea to start talking about how BM could be Satoshi.
No one wants to be misrepresented as Satoshi because being Satoshi is dangerous. I think when Bitshares has a high enough market cap there will be quite a bit of danger which BM could face but we are a long way away from that possibility right now.
What I think we are seeing here is unusual. If it were an extortion or ransom scenario then you would expect the attacks to send an email to Satoshi from his own email address asking for Bitcoin without it ever reaching the media. Because it has reached the media I would say these hackers aren't motivated by profit, they want attention, and possibly genuinely hate Bitcoin at the same time.
