Their MT4 servers are all online (150ms response time) and it is possible to login but not to trade.
Actually for the past 5 hours there have been some trades which I don't know how they were executed. BTC tick chart was showing some price changes but it hardly moved. ETH and LTC tick charts completely stopped 4 hours ago. During this time market watch was jumping from time to time.
But since the past 2 hours BTC tick chart also completely stopped and market watch (mt4 server time) is now frozen at 18:24:00 but logging is still working fine.
Topic: BTC-e hacked ?? - page 131. (Read 199719 times)
Popular Russian bitcoin exchange BTC-e has been down for almost 3 hours with the official twitter saying they are having a "server maintenance".
The weird thing is, they have never had maintenance works without prior announcements in the past. And coincidently, bitcoin prices have been crashing since btc-e went down.
Are they hacked and just denying the attack by calling it a maintenance job (like most hacked websites choose to do) ??
Hopefully, btc-e comes back online soon.

Do not get too upset, guys, they've probably had some technical problems, I think they might end it soon, I do not think there's any hacker attacking it right now. Please wait for the official announcement from them.
Between this and the BitcoinCash attack the price of Bitcoin is holding up pretty well so far, all things considering. There's more to this then a "maintenance event" though....
Everyone must to move BTC to Electrum or Core before the 1 of August.
Otherwise you can loose all your coins.

LOL. It is already pasted by Theymos himself giving us warning about how we should protect our bitcoin before Aug 1. So I assuming everyone should be moving their coins to a secured location.
Probably is really a maintainance job
Probably is, let wait for their official twitter account. I hope they are not hacked, because this will surely another chaos before Aug 1.
Bittrex said that bitcoin funds of the customers are in safe. So is there a possibility to lose our bitcoins on bittrex wallet? I don't understand what to do now.
And 6 hours downtime is too much for maintenance.
Definitely, they are losing money by the minute. Unless of course they were hacked they would have lost it all by one minute

In short, you are lying
Either deliberately or inadvertently but you are still lying. I remember when a few months ago there was a massive DDoS attack on this exchange, and it was down two times within the same day. First time, it was for over an hour (the exchange was essentially inaccessible), second time it was like 20 minutes. Unsurprisingly, a thread (pretty much like this one) immediately popped up here where the OP claimed that Btc-e had scammed on their clients

Time to put on those reading glasses, the initial tweet said "Unplanned maintenance" , kinda hard to announce needed maintenance when you dont know its needed
Probably just a hardware issue with the servers, hopefully not a hack. And the drop in Bitcoin price wasnt THAT huge really, we see those kind of swings all the time with BTC-E never being offline. Price is on its way back up again now.

the exchanges always mysteriously go down when the price is plummeting. It makes me think there is something more going on to be honest.
Llike they shut down for a few hours to scoop up cheap coins or something. I honestly see it happens so much it can't be a coincedence any more.

Yes, I think they are making a habit of doing maintenance when there are huge trading volumes around. I began to question if this is coincidence or something maliciously intended.
probably they are preparing for the upcoming chain split/hard fork, i think many exchange will stop around 1 august to accomodate that thing, but btc-e is notorious for being an exchange that need many maintenance, i remember it was many times down
Could they at least informed customers if they have a maintenance? Something like a email will be enough so that it will not cause panic and speculations amongst its user base. Your guess is as good as mine.
No news by now about hackers attack probably it would be spread around already and they should have noticed the users. But it's not excluded either. Anyway, don't think on worst at first, maybe it's only technical mainteinance and everything will be back to normal soon.
Hoping as well that it will be back to normal. Otherwise this will really have a negative impact to the price. As we all know any unwelcome news specially with the fragile situation we got will cause the market to tumble down. And we don't want that to happen.

yes hopefully so, we do not want Bitcoin to have case same with Ethereum, yesterday Ethereal is hacked and now Bitcoin will be also hacked. I hope not.

Nowadays almost all the exchange do maintenance. They prepare everything for the 1st of August. Usually there will be information before this happens. If true btce get hacking then of course the price of bitcoin can decrease drastically. We all hope that all this does not happen.

They could honestly simply be getting overwhelmed due to the crazy price movements. This is likely the cause. Discouraging none the less though as it is an exchange many use.

It is not a Russian bitcoin exchange. Although the owners are Russians (they were Russian citizens in 2011, not sure whether they still hold the Russian passport or not), the exchange was originally based in Kiev (Ukraine). But now they are based in Sofia, Bulgaria.
just FYI, btc-e has been hacked before. at least once and they lost a rather large amount of money. they paid their users in full and without any hassle.
and this is a simple scheduled maintenance they occasionally have.

It says that technical works are soon over and site will be up again. (Translating from russian via google)
