Could also be stamp moving coins to safety...

I doubt it, I see huge fees paid for each transaction, in one case it is 1000 times bigger than the relay fee (0.0001 BTC) they would be really dumb paying 1 BTC to relay a transaction no matter how new and big it is.



Not only were they hacked, but they were hacked by a someone with poor knowledge about Bitcoin.

That's probably correct. If those were stolen, I guess Bitstamp would put out an announcement.
They don't have a history of suspicious stuff like MtGox did (yet).

I can confirm that Bitstamp is having some kind of issue with their hot wallets and that at this time, no Bitcoin payments should be sent to any Bitstamp deposit address issued to date.

If you have a Bitcoin address that someone gave you, don't make any payments to that address until you confirm it's not an affected Bitstamp deposit address.

how does affect this the Ripple Gateway of Bitstamp?

Well, at least they're dealing with the situation professionally.

Or maybe they're trying to keep you from selling? Might they be out of fiat?

They are professionals, things like this happened before and they acted responsibly and promptly so nothing to worry about in my opinion.

Today I received note from Bitstamp about some issues with their hot wallet. They stopped procesing withdrawals.

And on top of it:
"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."

Can anyone confirm the same? Unfortunately I did not sent any bitcoins there, but I am worry little bit now. I trust Bitstamp.

damn it.
Selling my bitcoins... just in case
