Thank you for the explaination, that hosting provider should get bankrupt
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.

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.

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?

This is all so insane, every exchange getting attacked or attacking us.
If you're still here, can you give a guess as to when you will be back online?
Thank you for the update busoni

I'm beginning to wonder if anybody can safely leave 5BTC - 10BTC on an exchange now, when the hell are cold wallets going to become standard practice?
Quit wondering and get serious.

Obviously it is TotalPanda
Thanks, i was looking for some information. Anyone knows what´s the problem?
Kudos for the recent changes.
I really like the sorting, and selecting currencies options. Well done!
One more suggestion:
In the "Options ... Enabled Markets: ... Select All ... Select None",
I suggest a "Select my nonzero balance currencies" to show only those which I am currently holding.
thx

Is poloniex down for anyone else?
Everyone is crying for captcha to be removed, but if it would then everybody will cry that their account got bruteforced.

It has come to my attention that a number of people have been scamming coin developers on this forum, claiming to be a member of Poloniex staff and asking for bounties to be listed on Poloniex.
Please note that only I have the authority to list coins, and I am the only one to talk to about this. I go by busoni here, busoni@poloniex on the trollbox, and Tristan in the real world and on email.
