I would advise you to stop sending deposits. Not all wallets were on that server, and the odds are very very tiny that the attacker was after lesser-known alts, but it could only make things easier if you wait until the site is back up before sending more deposits.
What about deposit that were made couple minites before the attack , i had like 8 cr1 and 2 deposits of BTC from two diffrent sources on a combine amount of 2.5 btc, I cant cancel that , not after 4 hours , will it be lost or safe?
Why site doesn't work?
And what other coins? They're safe ?, they were not stolen ?

That's Busoni toasting to us right after he puts the server back online!

Fun-neee! Cheers to that!
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.
Does this accident affect other, not-BTC deposit addresses? My rigs send regulary small amounts of coins directly to my poloniex deposits, do I need to stop sending now?
Yes you should absolutely stop sending small deposits from mining. If every one of those deposits needs to be manually recovered for you then you will only be wasting time. I can't recall if Poloniex specifically has a statement listed in the balance page, but many exchanges have something along the lines of "Please don't send small auto-payouts from mining." So basically you should never be doing it to begin with.
ok but questio nis.. why busoni is not adding LGD Legendary Coin ?
Poloniex - simply the best. Been using Bittrex since you guys down, but it seems bot infested lately, driving me crazy...
Hope to see you up and running soon.

All funds are safe. Poloniex does use cold wallets.
Well, you made me feel much better.

Thanks for the updates as well. Take the time it needs, better safe than sorry. I can wait.

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.

I appreciate everyone's patience while I take proper security measures before bringing the exchange back online.

Way to go buddy, Thank you. Lodge a major complaint with that provider
I love Poloniex
THIS is why to trade at Polo!

Very nice job! This is my first time reading the support thread and I applaud your solid work thus far. Good job with the wallet situation by the way!

Once you get everything switched over, would you, please name the hosting provider so many of us here can also protect ourselves by making sure not to use them in the future and/or cease using them currently.
Thank you.
If he did I imagine they would have one hell of a hissy fit over it. Imagine a hosting company just giving out root access so easily? That's a pretty severe breach, especially if they knew their client was in the exchange business.
Many more details are needed, though. Another major breach like this so quickly after the last one is a very real issue.
