The post seems like they have it under control. I've never used them, but if that post is accurate, it's a good update
I think I can, unfortunately, retract this post
If anyone was affected, I hope everything turns out ok. Just let this be a reminder that in addition to Gox, nobody in Bitcoin will ever be too big to fail. No matter what coins you are holding, please secure your wealth at a local level as diligently as possible
I opened Mycelium on my phone and saw that the price of bitcoin was $0 I thought bitcoin was dead.
Lol, so Mycelium gets its price updates from bitstamp? Check em on preev next time whenever you're in doubt.

Maybe they want to stole all the bitcoin in the exchange and said they have attack . That will realy drop a lot prices 
So it happened. The time of good old bitstamp coming to an end. Like you didn't see this coming...
If they can solve this and cover any potential losses it would strengthen their image as a reliable exchange and improve their security. Good things can come out of this.
if not we gonna see a new bottom
