Let's all hope that this address, LVoeShNRRLd2opjWyyWQdEhydqhBA5GkTw, is in the possession of Vircurex, as that's where my Litecoins ended up. There are over 100k LTC deposited at that address currently. I'm going to ask in their thread.
Perhaps full anonymity is not all it's cracked up to be, as it seems to definitely entice this type of behavior. It's almost like giving every scam artist a get out of jail free card. Perhaps there really does need to be some sort of ultimate way to track transactions to an individual, or something. Yeah, Silk Road and the like would need to figure something out, but really those illegal marketplaces cannot be the single source of Bitcoin capitalization. Otherwise we are screwed. We need more legitimate marketplaces to have Bitcoin or any alt-coin for that matter to succeed.

Am I the only one who think that it could be a scam?
Everything related to bitcoin get """hacked""", how do we know it is true or the admin wants to keep all the coins?
I'm not saying Vircurex is a scam, but easily anybody come here with a new service (call it exchange, potato, gambling site, etc) and say "I was hacked, I lost all coins, sorry and good bye".
Trust no one.

People need to be aware of the risks when trading crypto online. Nothing is guaranteed. Last time Vircurex was hacked Kumala paid back everyone's losses out of HIS OWN POCKET. I'm not sure if he'll do this again (or if he can even afford it to) - but there is no way this is a scam. Exchange fees are pretty low and running an exchange like Vircurex, which is vital to the crypto ecosystem, seems to be a thankless job.
Personally, I think the hackers that did this have to pay - I'll put 1 BTC towards a bounty to discover who they are (and I didn't even lose anything).
Selfish assholes are ruining crypto for everyone and need to pay for their crimes.
this would not happen to mincoin
on mcxnow.com.
would it?
nah.
on mcxnow.com.
would it?
nah.
Ha ha, why would anyone care to hack that 'exchange'. It has less volume then a newspaper kiosk and deals mostly in scamcoins. Nice try 'PR guy' moron.
100% expected and it will continue to happen. Keep your wits about you when dealing with scamcoins and the shady sites that encourage them
lmao=)

It happened to a website, not a coin. Nice attempt at a hijack.

Update: I figured I would check my LTC balance again. My LTC account is now 0 balance, so it looks like they are burning the midnight oil on this one to restore services as soon as possible.
not fun

That's good, but I want to make sure I'm not out of pocket anything. I only had about 10-11 BTCs there, and about 25,000 FRC, but I want a statement from vircurex, saying they guarantee customers will not be the losers in this.
I'm a big fan of vircurex. I will be very disappointed if my crypto is lost, but will still use vc as long as they are able to solve the issues and learn from this experience.
Per all the news coming out - minimal wallets were accessed and the site will make good on any loses. So, what makes you believe otherwise?
Pretty sure my LTC and TRC are gone 
DAMN IT MY DVC!! WTH!!
Devcoin is now officially dead. This hack killed the currency before it could crawl. Either we lost all our devcoins or we will sell them all immediately. I know the first thing I'm going to do if I can access my Devcoins is sell them and I'm prett sure everyone else is thinking the same after seeing this news.
I had over 100,000 Devcoins too.
i have a lil over 1M in there..smh! it better be all in there.
My account was protected by Yubikey, will that make a difference?
Only if they used proper encryption. No encryption and they own all your coins!
Well there is the reason for the massive Altcoin pressure last 2 days. Prob hackers dumping all the coin they can for BTC to 'wash' the wallet addresses.
These are the kinds of incidents that will lead to the fall of cryptocurrencies. These hackers are greedy, sure, but they don't realize that their actions are going to hurt them in the long run, as well, when all of this comes to a crashing halt
Yeah its what happened to fiat pounds when that Great Train Robbery happened, thats why everyone switched to dollars. Until that big robbery where lots of dollars got stolen, so no one uses them anymore. So everyone switched to cryptocurrencies and damn robberies still happen, darn it.
