Kudos for the recent changes.
I really like the sorting, and selecting currencies options. Well done!
One more suggestion:
In the "Options ... Enabled Markets: ... Select All ... Select None", I suggest a "Select my nonzero balance currencies" to show only those which I am currently holding.
thx

I'm beginning to wonder if anybody can safely leave 5BTC - 10BTC on an exchange now, when the hell are cold wallets going to become standard practice?

Quit wondering and get serious.

All funds are safe. Poloniex does use cold wallets.
What happened was an attacker used social engineering to gain root access to a wallet server. This was made possible by absolutely jaw-dropping negligence on the part of the hosting provider. Fortunately, I caught the attempt in time and was able to shut down the server before anything was taken. All BTC has been moved into cold storage, and then next step is to set up a new server with a different provider.
Please stop sending BTC to your old BTC deposit addresses. The funds will not be lost, but all new addresses must be generated, as I must assume the old wallet is compromised. It is very unlikely that it was, but "unlikely" is not good enough.
I appreciate everyone's patience while I take proper security measures before bringing the exchange back online.

This is all so insane, every exchange getting attacked or attacking us. If you're still here, can you give a guess as to when you will be back online?

Does this accident affect other, not-BTC deposit addresses? My rigs send regulary small amounts of coins directly to my poloniex deposits, do I need to stop sending now?

Once you get everything switched over, would you, please name the hosting provider so many of us here can also protect ourselves by making sure not to use them in the future and/or cease using them currently. Thank you.

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State BlockNet can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State BlockNet to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State BlockNet.” - Joseph Goebbels

I guess that depends on how safe you feel with unlikely. Going by what he said, you should be good but it's best play it safe and stop using all old poloniex coin address as I would assume the wallets were all on the same wallet server (could be wrong).

Thank you. If he did I imagine they would have one hell of a hissy fit over it. Imagine a hosting company just giving out root access so easily? That's a pretty severe breach, especially if they knew their client was in the exchange business. Many more details are needed, though. Another major breach like this so quickly after the last one is a very real issue.
