Bitstamp Service Temporarily Suspended
We have reason to believe that one of Bitstamp’s operational wallets was compromised on January 4th, 2015.
As a security precaution against compromises Bitstamp only maintains a small fraction of customer bitcoins in online system. Bitstamp maintains more than enough offline reserves to cover the compromised bitcoins.
IN THE MEANTIME, PLEASE DO NOT MAKE DEPOSITS TO PREVIOUSLY ISSUED BITCOIN DEPOSIT ADDRESSES. THEY CANNOT BE HONORED!
Customer deposits made prior to January 5th, 2015 9:00 UTC are fully covered by Bitstamp’s reserves. Deposits made to newly issued addresses provided after January 5th, 2015 9:00 UTC can be honored.
Bitstamp takes our security and soundness very seriously. In an excess of caution, we are suspending service as we continue to investigate. We will return to service and amend our security measures as appropriate.

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

for all we know bitstamp is hacked and Gox 2.0 is happening.

Since BTC withdrawals on are not working, if you currently have coins at Bitstamp and you want to get them out as fast as you can you need to do this, for all we know bitstamp is hacked and Gox 2.0 is happening.
in some other exchange (bitfinex or BTC-E) and sell them if you need and had fiat on stamp and not BTC.
You might lose some because slippage or liquidity but if you want to stay safe is your choice.

For the Dutch, Buy XRP (ripple) on stamp, and send them to https://poloniex.com/ (make an account there) and then you can exchange them for BTC again.
After that send them to www.koop-bitcoin.nl and sell them for euro`s. Next day on your account.

It's just to stay safe, better to be a little paranoid than to risk to lose all your funds right?

Convert your BTCs to XRP (ripple) on bitstamp, and send them to https://poloniex.com/ (make an account there) and then you can exchange them for BTC again.
