Hi everyone,

All BTC markets got frozen, because the new security features detected some suspicious activity in BTC. What it detected were two unusually large deposits made one right after the other from two separate accounts. The deposits were around 28 BTC.

This is how the security feature is supposed to work, but it shouldn't have been triggered by that amount--the sensitivity was set too high. I have made an adjustment now.

When a currency is frozen, withdrawals are not processed and any market involving that currency is frozen. You can see on the candlestick charts that LTC markets kept going, and withdrawals for all currencies other than BTC were working fine.

I would like to stress that this was a false alarm, and there was no actual security threat. Although events like this cause some delays and a bit of FUD (there was a tiny run on BTC), I think we would all rather the occasional false alarm than not having security features like this at all.

All the markets are frozen and I'm unable to make trades. The twitter said the testing was done many hours ago so they should be unfrozen??
