Considering there is a database dump with my mt gox information making its way around the internet, it's obvious your security has been compromised. I would assume that you're going to do a FULL security and code audit to make sure there aren't further exploits or backdoors placed on your system. As these audits take awhile, I also assume that you're not going to be back online anytime soon.
Or do I assume wrong?

How was the list with accounts stolen? Was this through a SQL injection?
How will resetting of passwords be arranged?

Thank you [MT and Jed] for the information.
excellent lets keep the updates rolling in
i really don't think you can call them 'stolen coins' with a straight face. what's done is done, and it's on your shoulders to fix it, NOT by denying people with legitimate bids their feast.
Hello everyone, MagicalTux is busy getting everything back in order on mtgox so he asked me to post here and answer any questions people have.
First, only a small amount of BTC was stolen. MtGox will refund the stolen BTC to the compromised user.
Everyone's bitcoins are safe on the site. We still are holding all the coins safely in reserve. The vast majority of the coins are stored offline so they are impossible to compromise.
He understands the rollback won't be popular with people who were able to pick up coins for .10 or whatever but none of those trades were legitimate so mtgox has a legal obligation to reverse the trades.
I'm sure when you think about it you don't actually want to buy stolen coins and take advantage of the situation.
Things have been very hectic with mtgox since MagicalTux took over. He has simultaneously been trying to fend off persistent ddos attacks, hire more staff, deal with the huge increase in users, improve the code to support the much larger trade volume, ensure regulatory compliance and deal with various security issues. Obviously things haven't gone as smoothly as we would like but we can see the light at the end of the tunnel with more people being hired and the backend changes done. MtGox will hopefully be able to regain your trust in the coming weeks.
The site should be up again shortly. I'm asking him to clear all the standing orders.
Please post any questions you have here and I'll do my best to answer.
