We sadly need to announce that our wallet has been compromised thus DO NOT send any further funds to any of the coin wallets, BTC, DVC, LTC, etc. We will setup a new wallet and reset all the addresses. This will most likely take the whole weekend.

Sorry to hear that. How bad is the loss? Will users be out of pocket, or can vircurex cover it?

Further update:  The system was not breached, no passwords were compromised (they are salted and multiple times hashed anyways). The attacker used a RubyOnRails vulnerability that was released yesterday (http://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/24019/) to withdraw the funds therefore.

Sorry for your lose.

Amm ... the RoR volnurability was posted to multiple large forums, including Slashdot.

Did the attacker see the announcement before you were able to realize it affects you and shut off your systems? How come you missed it for so long that you didn't shut your stuff off / upgrade in time?

Ouch, good luck with it. Bitcoin central's down too, looks like someone's being a pain in the ass.
That's just scheduled maintenance Smiley
We deployed the fixes within five minutes after receiving the notification from the Rails security mailing list.

Bit slow of the attacker. I was actually half-expecting someone to start hacking Bitcoin sites before any exploit was even publicly released.

It's good to see you are recovering so quickly, especially with the severe downtime or outright collapse most exchanges seem to go through.

It's been a couple of stressful hours here.

No we did not switch servers, we:
 - applied the Ruby Rails patch
 - backed up all log files for further analysis
 - log files show the XML code injection, we validated all triggered commands to ensure nothing other than withdrawing funds (e.g. backdoor) was done.
 
2AM here, will need to catch some sleep,  mistakes are easily made when being too tired.

Total value lost in the heist?

Sorry for your loss indeed.  Sucks that the vulnerability was in rails and not in your app.

I'm not sure if I feel worse for bitcoin, vicurex, the people with funds there, or ruby on rails.

This seems like a terrible plan of action. Your server could still be compromised, but site actions have been restored? Why is your wallet easily accessible by your web server?
