URL has changed to https://

"SSL requests not supported for www.cryptsy.com
The site is not configured with SSL support."

Maybe a security upgrade going on?

Looks like they're setting up a new server and/or service?

https://www.cryptsy.com/ now shows an invalid SSL certificate warning for me (issued to secure.4rx.com instead of www.cryptsy.com) they might have been seriously hit

It's obvious who has good tech knowledge.. while @cryptsy I allegedly have a virus since chrome warns me about the site being presented as another domain which changed a few times aswell.

Bad news: Yes BTER down.
Good news: Finally managed to withdraw from Vircurex just now.

As one user said here, Crypto-trade.com has been attacked too yesterday, so at least for us its was a DDOS attack. However the size of attack was so small to make us down as we have a very good DDOS protection. No downtime for us so and even no lagging.

The DDOS attack we observed was different level. They started to attack us with around 1 Giga attack, and finished with a last try at 8 Giga around. I guess it was their maximum cause when they seen our site was staying online the attack stopped after few minutes only.

perfect timing after announcing coins-e.com - I guess someone want to come into exchange scene DDoSing competitors.

could this be ddos? Usually when bter.com got ddos'ed, the cloudflare page would be up
