    The technical obstacle is that the attacker has to either front-run Mt Gox or wait for it to slip up. Specifically, she has to capture a legitimate transaction issued by Mt. Gox, modify it, and have her modified transaction accepted by Bitcoin miners in lieu of the original one.

I just did like three double takes trying to figure out who "she" was. I wonder why the author chose that pronoun, and why it stood out to me so much.

I did that too. I'm all for egalitarian pronoun usage but it is jarring until you get used to it, which I may never.
