I was using btc-e.com about 20 minutes ago just fine and now I can't connect at all.  

First I could not access the URL http://btc-e.com

Now, I can access, but if I try to login "server error"

UPDATE:  Following "server error" it gives me "PoW Data Not Received"

Can't tell if this is getting better or worse.

UPDATE #2: BTC-E confirms ddos attack https://twitter.com/btcecom

My bad on posting to incorrect forum

Thank you for confirming site is down for others too...at least partially

As mentioned,  I was finally able to load the site itself, but cannot login (server error)

Hopefully this will be resolved very soon.

i opened same topic but know i cnt find it. why

Probably because it was moved to the correct sub-forum, as this thread should be.
so which one is correct forum and why this topic stays?

It works fine for me? Not even delay when loading.

Have you tried to login though?  They've confirmed ddos just a minute ago.

Took some time loading, but loaded without problem.

Even google went down one time or two, nothing to worry.

I'm currently getting an "Error 502 Bad Gateway" on BTC-e.com.

Hopefully any customer coins they have are stored securely somehow.

DDOS attack, huh? I sometimes wonder if people are doing this only for the laughs or if it's being done by truly malevolent people who are trying to pursue personal gains by this. Any ideas how you could profit from an attack?

I should have gotten into Bitcoin back in 1992...

That people will trade on other exchanges meanwhile? So profit maybe?
But it would need to be offline for way longer time.

Back in the early days when 80% of bitcoin trade happened over at gox, people would DDoS mtgox and the lag would increase to some insane amount making trading nearly impossible. It would temporarily crash the price, this exact method was used to crash the price on a number of occassions. The attackers probably had a short on bitcoin so profited that way. It's probably somebody trying the same thing again, doubtful they'll have much success nowadays though.

I have private messages disabled. Send me an email instead. My contact details can be found here.

If you were to launch a DDoS attack against a website then you could also launch a different attack on the same website. The website operator's attention and resources would likely be focused on the DDoS (it is much more public and obvious) so less would likely be done to counter whatever other attack you are attempting.
