Thanks Busoni
i hope you ll be online soon.
All funds are safe. Poloniex does use cold wallets.
What happened was an attacker used social engineering to gain root access to a wallet server. This was made possible by absolutely jaw-dropping negligence on the part of the hosting provider. Fortunately, I caught the attempt in time and was able to shut down the server before anything was taken. All BTC has been moved into cold storage, and then next step is to set up a new server with a different provider.
Please stop sending BTC to your old BTC deposit addresses. The funds will not be lost, but all new addresses must be generated, as I must assume the old wallet is compromised. It is very unlikely that it was, but "unlikely" is not good enough.
I appreciate everyone's patience while I take proper security measures before bringing the exchange back online.

Top notch owner. I feel safe after easily finding this. You rock.
Am getting withdrawal symptoms ......
I think this proves more than anything that busoni and the folks at Poloniex are on top of things.. If somebody gained root server access and they managed to give them the boot before anything was stolen, I would say these guys are running a top notch exchange. My understanding is they are migrating to a new host/server and thats the delay, would you stick with the same company that gave out your login credentials :p
It's coming back very soon now.
hope do i have the DT's
It's coming back very soon now.
How long till poloniex comes back online, I miss it badly, life is crap without you 
lol
lol Nobody else is concerned that this person was able to ssh to the server without firewall rules blocking him?
Sounds like the only reason anyone even knew what was going on was due to the entire server being down and a bunch of wallets being offline.

The provider, as most providers do, allowed booting into "recovery mode." They did this first via support tickets, then got on the phone to get the password reset. Ordinarily, firewalls are up at all times on all servers.
Busoni, thank you for the updates. Have you considered going to a fully dedicated server - maybe a set up on your own premises? It seems very few third parties, including hosting services, can be trusted these days.
nice work, admin..
