New issue: the wallet thinks the current rate is $91 when in fact it is (right now anyway) $68.5 ... so all of the balances are screwed up.
Is this happening with anyone else's blockchain.info wallet?

The sending part works just fine, just be sure you're not using their exchange rate to calculate the amount you're sending. (since it's still showing $91).

https://twitter.com/blockchainThe DDOSer discovered our real server IP and was therefore able to attack us direct circumventing cloudflare (and the disposable nginx proxies blockchain switched to for a while). The Site is running privately but before it is made publicly accessible again some changes need to be made in order to ensure the same situation doesn't happen again. Approximate ETA 30 minutes - 1 hour. https://i.imgur.com/R4i7ddC.png

The site has not been compromised in any way. I think some users are possibly using the same usernames on bitcointalk as alias's to blockchain wallets in combination with weak passwords and using the same password on other bitcoin sites. As always I recommend to never reuse the same password on any other websites and to use the chrome/firefox browser extension (not the verifier). |

Piuk, can you comment on the Amazon S3 backup regime for deleted private keys - i.e. if I were to upload a private key and then later on delete it - are old copies of the encrypted wallet file still stored on S3 - and if so, for how long?
Regards,
Will

In other news... the site has been down pretty much all day though, right? Any news? |

Can you confirm that the server will NOT send the encrypted blob until 2FA is successful (assuming it is on of course)?? Also for clarity can you state how 2 level encryption could have possibly helped this scenario? |

How do you think thieves are getting wallet URLs? My friend never logged on since it was setup 6 months ago, and didn't use an alias (and has never heard of bitcointalk...). Yet she had 7 coins stolen last week. Lots of similar reports going round. |

I cannot see how that is possible. Everything happens in the browser. So, I imagine, the encrypted blob must be sent to the browser once it visits the URL. |
