This only happened today and the rally has been on for more than a week.

From the article:

> The original hacker could have compromised the funds on May 11th or any day thereafter.

But they were only cashed out from MtGox today. So he could have done it earlier, but only did it today. At least that's how I read it.

Yep, but the transfer didn't happen until today. He might have had the passwords all along, that's a different thing.

In May, the equivalent of some ~90K US$ were stolen.

Today, 40K BTC + 40K US$ (amounting to ~350K at current valuation) were transferred out of Bitcoinica's MtGox account. Different issue and it definitely doesn't explain the recent rally.
