since site is back up again i am going to close down this topic, but strangely enough there is absolutely no announcement on their part about this!

it is also strange that a DDoS was 20-50 minute according to the screenshot!

I have opened yobit.net and it worked and opened correctly for me.May be there was a temporary problem because i opened yesterday as well and today right now also and its working perfectly.May be some update ,or maintainace they were doing but no problem now.

Yes, here also. I opened Yobit several times every day and it was normal for me all day long.
Maybe it was just a fast issue they had. But it's all working fine. Don't worry.

There is only a white space with no information about what is happing except a vague statement!
as you can see in the screen captured below and it has been like this for a couple of hours now!


actually there was nothing happened . it was only the down of the server hosting the yobit exchange . when the server was less down then only some of my friends using high speed internet was able to access the site at very low speed .
overall i will say it ia only host provider fault .

I used to open yobits site atleast once a day because there are some bitcoins and altcoins there i had and i keep checking the prices but after seeing your post i just saw there is some problem with the site.I hope its down only for some time and will be back again becuase i am holding my decent amount there.

As soon as the site comes online the first thing you do will be withdraw your funds from the exchange. Do not trust exchanges for keeping your bitcoins they can run at any time i honestly don't trust but i have some altcoins there and i will withdraw once the site comes online.
Yes okk i will do it as soon as it opens,mainly i have some litecoins,bitcoins and ether there and very small amount of other 8-9 altcoins as well.I will surely withdraw all my bitcoins and litecoins.But for now i dont think its a major problem and probably they will be back again in couple of hours.

i never keep anything on exchanges and definitely not on yobit. i just wanted to check some stuff out, yobit is like a testing ground for me for checking the API and other stuff there.

Its down i guess not hacked and they are working on there site to fix this out.
They just posted the reason that there site is DDOSED by some guy and they are sorting the issue out and it will take 20-50 Minutes probably.
I don't think so its hacked.
