I'm glad I'm not the only one showing it to be down.  It's probably best not to discuss dumping the coins just in case the site owner is reading these posts as it might not ever come back up (Mysteriously of course).

Offline for me. Been that way all day.

BTER.com too.

What time (and time zone) did you first check? 
I first came across this around 5:30 EST

Vircurex is also not accessible... which exchange will be next?

Thanks for the update... I added this to the original post and changed the subject as it appears multiple cryptocurrency exchanges are down.

It in fact was a ddos - we are almost complete with mitigating the attack and the site should be back online shortly

I was trying to log into Crypsty last night and chrome kept giving me a warning that I was being redirected to another site.

As said in another post. We have been targeted too, ( crypto-trade.com ) but they stopped after a 8 giga attack last try until now... SO we didnt been offline and even no laggued as we can support more. Crypto-trade.com dont have cost for DDOS protection as we are Koddos.com however it is a bit scaring for small exchange which couldnt handle cost requiered for such high protection...
