I agree that OP is doing a great job resolving these problems.

Still I have to say it is highly frustrating to read these "withdraw ALL of your coins, as FAST as possible, EVERYTHING" all over the place, but when I attempt to withdraw my LTC I only see that they are not there, balance is zero, so how can I possibly withdraw them as fast as possible?! I would really like to, actually.

David,

you claim the total loss of this hack is currently equal or less than 3.82 BTC.

Please do your alt-coin community a favour following these steps:

• fix the security issue(s) enabling the attack vector to access the Nova database
• move the current (non-existing) BTC (and maybe DOGE and ESP) balances to new virtual BTC_reclaim currency balances
• re-enable Nova service with empty BTC (and maybe DOGE and ESP) balances
• setup a soft (max) limit of about 0.5 BTC which no user is allowed exceed depositing into the BTC wallet
• start fundraising for a professional security audit

If you intend to close down service operations maybe because the service fees did not cover your (hosting & service) costs please share this fact with your community.

Hint: I'm currently unable to withdraw any coin balances from Nova

Also want to know how many BTC ESP LTC was withdrawed by hackers

Scam alert : Using Hackers in your defense is  a cliche now.Novaexchange just Goxxe'd.Someone please open a scam accusations right away.Owner seems to have locked all the withdrawals. Your message looks too legit idiot.

Everyone, please withdraw everything from Novaexchange - Everything!


Also DO NOT send any coins here! I repeat DO NOT!


ALL TRADES HAS BEEN STOPPED, ANY DEPOSITS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED! WITHDRAW YOUR COINS NOW!


An vulnerability has opened up for a specific user give themselves an insane amount of Bitcoins. These has been used to trade in the markets, balances has been re-arranged.


All in all, BTC, DOGE and ESP balances cannot be trusted, the vulnerability caused the attacker insert a transaction within deposit systems. But did not think that Novaexchange is a young exchange that doesn't bank a lot of coins. The total volume of BTC in the most important wallet was 3.82 BTC before the attack, not a huge amount but that does not mean it is not painful for some.

The attacker themselves did not get away with anything - actually it is happy users that got traded in ESP market during the last few hours that became happy they sold for BTC and withdrew everything. Which caused the wallet to go empty.

All trades and such is logged and I could technically do a rollback of all trades even if it will take a lot of time to sort everything out. Which would you prefer?
I am concidering to close down the exchange permanently once you have withdrawn your coins, unless the community gives any reason for Novaexchange to stay around. I wanted the site to become a serious player in this business with a lot of alt-coins that other exchanges refuses to trade, that was the idea behind Novaexchange.

So you posted this without any better checking of state of these things??
People are getting their coins back.

[monoxide]

Thanks @novaexchange!

I just got my 104mil ESP back!

[Provok]

So, I can't wintdraw btc (and it gone from balance).

Is there plans to reverse btc_esp trades? Or I completely lost my espers wich has been sold for BTC?

Guys, that was my situation too. send him pm in twitter and he rollsback your trade and you can get your esp back.
Those esp-btc trades was not real since hacker vheated with btc wallet balance.
I'm happy with this solution.

[bejjan]

I give huge credits to Novaexchange for handling this matter in such a great manner.

I can't imagine how full their mailbox must be by now.

Be patient, your help will come.

Best regards,
Bejjan

[lionheart78]

i have been following the activity of nova exchange after they announced they were hacked, as soon as i read the notice i withdrew my coins, though some take sometime to be transferred but eventually i got all of 'em, i don't think this exchange was trying to scam people.  

[bejjan]

It was never and will never ever be their intention to scam anyone. Look how well they are dealing with this situation.

The hack was indeed real and also very unfortunate, yet they are doing everything they can to restore and recover.

The delays in withdrawals is also easily explained, some of them requires manual review. You all want it to be correct, yea ?

[arseaboy]

I hope people will continue to let this exchange try to re establish and they are still sending back the coins that has been lost I've seen many transaction has been made and nova is still working to replace those coin that has been lost.

How can we be sure this is legit, and how will lost funds be replaced?

[Gandalf86]

I have contacted the dev and asked about my LTC balances - no response. I provided detailed screenshots and tried via Twitter and Email. Nothing. Does anyone know what happened to these balances and what are the chances to get it back? I thought only Bitcoin was affected by the hack.

I've also tried asking about this here on BTCTalk several times, in this thread and Espers thread, but nobody even bothered to react to my questions.   Except the Espers dev asking why I had become interested in ESP again.
