bitcoin7.com 'hacked'. Database and wallets 'stolen'

[cjp]

I have some news regarding this topic:

Just before B7 was 'hacked', I sent some euros to them. These were now returned to me, with the comment that it was a compensation for a fraudulent foreign transaction! The comment was in my local language, not in English or Hungarian or Bulgarian.

Is it possible that the authorities are on this case?  If so, what should we expect?

It could be your bank being overly cautious about foreign money transfers?
It does seem like too much of a coincidence though.

A slightly more decentralised exchange would be a good idea, something more automated than #otc

It is newly written on bitcoin7 homepage that they "successfully confirmed the first withdraws". Can anyone confirm it?

Yes, not me personally, but people in another forum I visit regularly have confirmed they have received all their money (not BTC unfortunately)

I lost $5 and 1 BTC to this exchange.
Of course I am not going to provide any personal information to them, for "recovery".
It is disappointing that it is so difficult to find reputable exchanges
which honor anonymity.   The other exchanges block me from using
them, because I connect through TOR.  Bitcoin7 did not block TOR.
It seems I am now left with no options.

Can you tell me what 'another forum you visit regularly' are you talking about? I haven't received yet bitcoin7 email, although I send then already 3 email about it (on info@bitcoin7.com and bob@bitcoin7.com adresses).

How come after everything that happened around the BTC community, people still think about keeping their BTC in any exchange !!! Well maybe this kind of scams are necessary for the newbies to learn a lesson.
