What I find interesting is that they basically halted trading by shutting the site down.
Why halt trading? If there are no deposits nor withdrawals that should not matter on buying or selling.
Seems suspect to me.
Halt everything is N1 rule before investigation on hack threatWhy halt trading? If there are no deposits nor withdrawals that should not matter on buying or selling.

The first thing they would have to do is get an expert to take copies of all their server hard drives to stop new data overwriting old data that might be used as evidence.

Dear customer,
Today our transaction processing server detected problems with our hot wallet and stopped processing withdrawals.
You should STOP SENDING bitcoin deposits to your Bitstamp account IMMEDIATELY as private keys of your deposit address may be lost.
Your bitcoins already deposited with us are stored in a cold wallet and can not be affected.
We will send you more info as soon as possible.
Best regards,
Bitstamp team

Lower prices in the longer term aren't good for their revenues which are based on percentage fees.
Yup, BitStamp crash protection squad leaps into action !
That and possibly to stop people moving BTC off the exchange via Ripple ...

Bitstamp price might change and drop like a rock but doubt it will affect the other already real low bitcoin prices. If anything might get some new buyers in the other exchanges for these lost or stolen coin.
We are around 270 right now.
I bet it is due whale people with inside info of what is going on with stamp, that sold before everything went public

Just like how bad news from MtGox didn't affect all the other exchanges during the years it existed.

I don't think as of now that Bitstamp really is screwed beyond repair. I'm still optimistic! I just hope they disable the pending orders before re-enabling the trading engine. I believe people may be tempted to sell their Bitcoins for FIAT in fear of not being able to get their BTC back!
Many were optimistic in the dawn of MtGox fuckpucinno.
I'm not worried. Lets just wait until their official statement.
They better invite Roger Ver.

We'll be in the double digit price range in less than 48 hours.
Whatever happens. pretty sure that isn't going to happen.
Even with mtgox, the price went down to double digits only in mtgox. Here bitstamp price is officially still at 277

Speculators are again burnt by using a centralized exchange for a decentralized payment system.
I know Bitstamp's security and Ibelieve it's hard to compromise cold wallets but still, a big minus on the image of Bitcoin. Bitcoin will never take off unless ALL centralized exchanges die.
Centralized exchanges can offer multi-signature for trustless Bitcoin deposits.I know Bitstamp's security and Ibelieve it's hard to compromise cold wallets but still, a big minus on the image of Bitcoin. Bitcoin will never take off unless ALL centralized exchanges die.
We should start a campaign to force them all to start using them. If they can use them, why aren't they?
If you are still on mtgoxbitstamp it's a wakeup call to get all your funds out.
Well, now we'll see if you people learned anything from the gox debacle. If bitstamp is still the major western exchange at the end of the month I don't have any hope for you.

But the fact we had a crash just before Stamp announced this is very, very suspicious.
"hack"

lol it's about time, what took them so long?
impact: That depends in which direction they are manipulating the market.

Here there are 220.000 Bitcoin, more or less this is the cold storage of Bitstamp. So, relax man and see what will happen the next hour. Btc are not stolen.
Good catch. If we can assume that they have been in control of the coins at the time they last rested, we can be sure that they control them.See here: 1JoktQJhCzuCQkt3GnQ8Xddcq4mUgNyXEa

I don't think it would be wise for them to move or even check these funds now, until they understand how deep the hack goes. Might well be they are monitored. So the secure approach will be to run a full security audit first, then prove ownership of the funds. I.e. no hasty decisions, hackers might be expecting this.

Please note: Their cold wallet is not affected.
So they say. Words cannot be trusted, only Bitcoin address signatures can.

But, I think it still has an impact on price. If you get out your btc (through ripple method, etc.), you will want to convert it to fiat to be safe, indirectly pushing the price down at the other exchange. (Withdrawals are halted.)

Shut up scum. Bitstamp was not hacked.

Given that the front page of Bitstamp's web site states that "one of Bitstamp’s operational wallets was compromised on January 4th, 2015." it isn't hard to assume some sort of hack was involved, surely.

well, it is not reported only on reddit. Coindesk.
Anyway, there is some issue with the hot wallet.
Seeing your reponse, I think you wouldn't have believed mtgox till it happened?
I am not saying bitstamp is done for or anything. But, I think it has an impact on price anyway. i am just waiting for a clear move.
