Mtgox domain is up. Does it help?
Do any of these situations end well? Gox, Vircurex, Cryptorush, Mintpal.
Only one that I know of: Poloniex was hacked but paid everyone back.

so that 40 dollar price drop yesterday was because of this hack? am i right?
i think yea because people are afraid of mt.gox shutdown and don't want to take risk anymorethey think bitstamp is next after mt.gox
I think the price drop was before the hack actually ....
and because of the fake transactions. all big exchangers reported fake transactions. almost 50% are fake.
they manipulated the Bitcoin price and Bitstamp is not a stranger of this, being the 3rd one as volume.

That article doesn't say anything about exchanges faking transactions?
Even without the long chain transactions the article refers to - Bitcoin transactions have been steadily increasing.
Not really sure what evidence you have for your claims?
Very bad news, they handled it well though.
That remains to be seen. If they are telling the truth and they have the funds to cover all customer Bitcoin (and don't take 6 months to return it to people) then they have handled it very well indeed.
They mention a cold storage supply to reimburse users if they do not act on this it will kill their business.
I repeat, almost ALL the money are in their bank account.
Most of the people are depositing by bank wire so, Bitstamp has the money as fiat currency.
Let's say the BTC from Bitstamp wallets disappear, the BTC is backed by real money(at least 90% from it)

Sure if I had coins in Bitstamp I would be worried too. IF Bitstamp are telling the truth everything will be ok. Time will tell.

Who keeps his/her coins on an exchange anyway... well
I got a mail from bitstamp:
Code:
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

Well if you take what they are saying at face value: "As a security precaution against compromises Bitstamp only maintains a small fraction of customer bitcoins in online systems. Bitstamp maintains more than enough offline reserves to cover the compromised bitcoins. "
There is probably nothing to worry about. Time will tell I suppose.
let's say these are the facts. is it hard to write another update?
there are many people who are waiting few words. also, i don't blame anybody who is worried because MTgox felt almost in the same way.
