Mintpal is being hit by DDOS attack, I got a "MintPal is over capacity. Please try again later." message when trying to open it.
Here is the last update from twitter :
Just been hit by a large DDoS, trying to mitigate it now. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Mintpal often get attacked easily  :(
Last time VeriCoin on Mintpal was stolen  :(

I think you better use BTC38/BTer/Poloniex/Bittrex/Cryptsy  :)

I got the captcha below with a warning my computer might be infected with a virus. Someone else got the same captcha virus warning last night on his computer, tablet, and phone. I doubt they would all be infected, so it sounds like everyone routinely gets the virus warning included with the captcha.

This could frighten a lot of people, and waste hours of their time scanning for a non-existent virus. Has anyone else here had this warning?

Honestly I don't trust mintpal or any site for that matter.  I was trading on cryptsy which has been proven reliable so far, but I've lost money on other sites for sure.  I believe the recent mintpal 'hack' was inside job like mtgox and others.  Yes you can ddos a site, but its really hard to hack a site, especially if they have a cold storage.

I hope cloak achieves one market soon.... will be revolutionary for all coins to come.

Yeah, same! After the captcha I also got the message saying something about over capacity something. But thankfully I don't have any coins there. But just to be on the safer side, I withdrew my all coins from all exchanges.
