It looks ok now but I can imagine how horrifying it must have been if you were in a middle of a trade Shocked

.

My question is, if they say they were moving to new servers or whatever, why didn't they informed others about this before and asked to hold off the trades for that duration?

Maybe I am overreacting but doesn't any of this seems a little odd to anyone?

Is it down now?

No, localbitcoin.com is working fine now. It must be something on your end.

You can also use http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/localbitcoins.com to see if the servers there can open LBC. It works for any URL, but I think it only checks the root domain.

Thank you. That will do nicely.

This is their latest tweet: Trying to get service back up. Can't provide ETA yet. All btc is safe, all data is safe, this is not a security breach but a server problem.. The important question is, can we trust them?

Everyone in a position to worry about that question has already answered it (in the affirmative).

While I do trust the Kangas brothers, they also have employees and local authorities, not to mention hackers and other criminals to worry about. All those risk factors are greatly mitigated by transparency, and even more greatly mitigated by diversifying your bitcoin holdings across several wallet providers (including yourself).

Posted on Localbitcoins website:

Crap. The site is unavailable.

Looks like there is a network problem at our hosting provider. We are sorry for problem; LocalBitcoins team is working hard to get the site back up.

The issue begin on the Saturday night 17.5.2014 CET.
This is not a security issue, but hardware and network problem. We haven't received a response from the hosting provider yet.
We are in the progress to get the site up.
All trades and Bitcoins are safe, however we have problems to get the site to connect to Internet.
Please follow us on Twitter for the latest updates.
This is a temporary page and will be replaced by the real site as soon as the problem is fixed.

It is down again now for 12 hours.
Sad

The lack of news from @localbitcoins and @kangasbros is unsettling.

13:00 < tomfoolery> edgar hylje_ moo-_- jeremias nikolaus imo regardless of time of day or day of the week there should be very fast responses when the server goes offline

At the time I said that it had been down for ~1 hour and 15 minutes(roughly 00:45UTC).

So worst case the attacker can get ahold of user name, password, btc address, email.

So what?

He cannot get the coins (no private keys) and it is very likely that there will be a password change at first login. Those with 2FA, don't have to worry at all - your phone is not compromised :-)

Just alot of hassle. Unless they are lying and all coins are gone ... Undecided
