When they say the were hacked it's maybe too late to worry...
I think they put most of their fund in cold wallet and hope it will not gonna get hacked anywhere in future. I don't think their intention can turn bad as looking at the profit only they get per day from fees. They are king in altcoin trading as of now. 
Topic: Why is Poloniex so often offline? (Read 1187 times)
Same here they are under DDOS when I accessed this website it's always offline for me. Should I withdraw my fund out? I'm confusing.
If you feel uncomfortable , you can withdraw to your own wallet and wait for Poloniex fully established.But for me this situation are not strange as long as they keep updating what actually happened we can still trust them. Ddos attack frequently happened we can still trust them, but once they say they are hacked we must start worry
Words of real wisdom. "Once they say they re hacked, we must start worry". Bravo!
today im trade again at poloniex, because poloniex have a great volume market. all data is secure, and i can trade without any problem. i think poloniex has handled this case Quickly.
I think now website work normally. I just made withdrawal it's processed within 5 minutes.

this is the worst thing that can happen.
in the past couple of days there has been two nail biting situations with both Poloneix and btc-e that both of them were luckily solved in time. that would have been so bad if two other would have joined the list of scam exchangers like cryptsy.
Was DDoS attack, not hacking.

they are now in a high trading volume, meaning their cold wallet is large. in that case, more possibility to be exploited by DDoS. they always need to upgrade their security using downtime.
official announcemen from pooniex
We are under a DDoS attack again. We're working on getting the site back as quickly as possible.

Tell me one thing: do the websites POLONIEX.COM and WWW.POLONIEX.COM point to different addresses?
One is a sub-domain of the other and they should both resolve to the same site - they have automatic redirection so you get to the correct site whichever you type.
But they are both resolved in the same IP, am I wrong?
That's why I can't understand why this is a DNS problem.

They are fully back up now, i don't have any difficulty visiting them both on https:// and without it. I think they have good backup system back there, happy to be able to trade again there.

Thank you, I did it.
However, I can't see how can it be possible that poloniex.com works and www.poloniex.com doesn't.

polonex.com and poloniex.com are two different things, if you are logged in poloniex.com you are not logged in on www.poloniex.com, basically the verification emails that are from poloniex are with "www" before.
But this has nothing to do with DNS, as far as I know.
comment #4 by you, you said "DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN" this is problem with DNS
and since you said you could access it in IE and not in Chrome you should flush chrome's dns log not windows (google it how)
chrome://net-internals/#dns

Who would DDoS poloniex, and WTF would someone gain by doing so? Mess up ETH trading for a couple hours? I don't get it
It's about messing up ETH trading. During the BTC bubble of 2014, there were lots of DDOS attacks on the exchanges - lots of people would panic and sell their coins when the site came up. Whoever did the DDOS would buy them cheap. Then things would resume their upward motion. After a period of time people wised up and stopped panicking every time there was a DDOS.
Is that because Polonix is the most successful altcoin trading platform? Most of the Ethereum is traded there.

Not related to his DNS issue, they have been under heavy DDoS attacks the last few days. It has been resolved now, as it seems.
Yes but I had problem between poloniex.com and www.poloniex.com.
And this doesn't relate to DNS and doesn't relate to DDoS attack either.
