Oh :/ We'll let's hope it's the same kind of issue and they are just down for the weekend again.
I like the fact that it doesn't have a trollbox used to manipulate pump and dumps like BTC-E does.
It seems they were affected by a 0-day exploit in their Ruby on Rails install.

You get that from the Pastebin that was from January

pfft, trollbox is the best feature on BTC-E, one of the reason it become the most popular alt coin exchange. If there were any easy way to move USD there, it can probably beat mtgox.
I actually just moved my only coins from them like three days ago.

Presumably only some trivially small percent of the money was in any hot-wallets so they'll easily cover it.
It just might take a lot of account / detective work to figure out exactly what balances or database entries or whatever the hackers messed with. Maybe they dropped all the tables from mysql or something. Whatever it is they seem to think they'll need all weekend to figure it out.
But yeah web is kind of crazy to use for money stuff. I use Open Transactions partly just because I am dubious any website can really be made secure, so many holes and exploits have happened, so many sites still get hit by sql injections and weird browser exploits and gosh knows what, its beyond your control as a website to secure it, as the browser is a huge attack-surface and is not under your control.

I've always thought vircurex admin were noobs, looks like I might be right. There's a reason that exchange never gained popularity.
That's not true. They have quite some volume there. Everyone gets hacked at some point or another.

I agree, the site was always extremely buggy, needless to say I never trusted it and didn't leave my coins on there for long.
I saw this episode a month ago.
This, they keep airing the same show every few months

Oh, that's going to have a big blow on all the currencies.
Vircurex started to gain a lot of traffic when mtgox went down.
This is a real shame.

Did they trade TRC ? thats probably the reason why there was such a large trc dump @ btc-e ...

I've got DVC on there too. I feel bad for anybody who had a big portfolio stored there. They must be stressed. Jump to:
