I'd withdraw my money instantly if i was you. I just saw 4 other people having same issue in btc-e's helpdesk forum. And i'm sure as soon as more people wake up more reports will get there.
What's worse is how they don't tell other members in news, just "use emails now instead of name" How about a "We got hacked change all your passwords now."
It's obvious this is not a problem from the clients' side. i'd demand a refund since this security breach was on their end
Topic: BTC-e Accounts were hacked. - page 3. (Read 7422 times)
You just gave me a shock, now logged in to check, all deposits are still fine.
Update - BTC-e now requires email to login. My email doesn't work as expected.
by the way, Only 3 persons were affected?

I am really sorry for your loss, and i know exactly how you feel. Yesterday at the bitcoin's crash i cleared all my money i had in perfect money and wallet to btc-e for trading, Today i woke up, logged in and everything was perfect. I was just about to withdraw some of my ltc when it happened.
Now all i can think of is my ltc in the account. I have a firewall that reports if any applications except opera tries to connect to internet, but still at first i thought i was infected. I have no idea now, i just hope my money is safe

I had 40k USD in that account... needless to say I am very unhappy at the moment.
Your computers are not infected... this is a problem with btc-e. They did not respond to my support request, but I have a service that records visitors actions on my website. Shortly after I put in a support message telling them my situation, someone from Krasnoyarsk Russia accessed my website looking into me and through my site, but did not respond! I then told support I saw them on my server and sent them their IP (which accessed my site), then they responded asking for my email and that is all I have gotten from them so far!!
That showed up straight away. 
So now the only way someone could get this money is with the private key?
So unless i have a malware snapping pics of my screen im safe.
Great
Thanks again

Ok, accessed my account fine.
Changed my settings to need an email confirmation to withdraw.
Feel a little more secure while waiting to see if the small withdrawal i made comes off without a hitch, Thanks.
How do i check the balance of a litecoin address, (blockchain for litecoins?)

Yes. Since it's a client side wallet generator, your browser will handle everything even if you are not connected to internet.
Sorry about the multiple posts just want to get this right.
I opened that link and clicked on the zip box. This downloaded a folder wth bitaddress.org/html
I just drag that to my browser offline?
Thanks

Well why don't you try to login now?
Get your smart phone/ Live linux and get a liteaddress.org safe address
Then transfer it there. Save the priv key on your phone/paper
At least that's exactly what i'm going to do after i get to access my account there.

Why the smart phone mate?
I was planning on using the liteaddress.org site but offline
Is that good enough?

Fuck me, first instawalet and then this. 
What would be the best course of action for someone who has coins in there.
I havent checked my login yet
Should i log in, (if i can) and send my coins to a newly created address through liteaddress.org?
I have heard some people having problems withdrawing coins too.
Maybe send to a few different addresses?
What do you think?

Having a database problem is one thing, Having account hijacked another
I don't mind waiting if my account is safe
but i'm worried about somebody withdrawing my money if they have access to it right now

There are apparently a few other people having this problem... We will have to wait and see what happens. I had waaayyy too much money in there.
Hello again
well after getting a little calm..
So, i am now on a live fedora linux changing my passwords for my important website accounts.
I got an email back from "[email protected]" saying 2 words "block accout" (Yes misspelled).
Does it mean my money is safe there for now? i have no idea.
Anyway, now i know my wallet.dat is probably taken by the hacker but it's empty atm.
Now, I'm trying to run litecoin-qt to create a new wallet but it doesn't run, i get the message below. Any help is appreciated.
Well now this makes it messed up.
I was using windows, i thought i got hacked because i clicked on a link or something
But now i'm thinking about their database got hacked or something

THIS EXACT SAME THING just happened to me... I had a ton of money in there. I use a unique random password only on BTC-E and run linux locally. There is NO WAY it is anything I did. This is messed up!
