Here's the current news:
Dear users of the Exchange Btc-e.com
The exchange is not going to close. We will refund all losses from our reserves.
Neither the servers nor the database were compromised. There were no SQL injections.
At 04:07 MSK (GMT+4) our LR API Secret Key was compromised. It's 16 uppercase, lowercase letters and digits. They may have bruteforced it for long.
Using the key the hacker imitated LR deposits from many accounts and bought up Bitcoins, Namecoins and Litecoins.
We lost our daily volume, approx. 4500 BTC. The attacker couldn't withdraw more
as most BTC were distributed over several offline wallets.
At 10:30 we restored the database to the state it was at 04:00, right before the attack. All trades after 4:00 are reverted.
People who attempted withdrawals before 04:00 MSK will get their funds withdrawn later today.
For people who deposited BTC, LTC and NMC after 04:00 MSK the funds will be put to their balances before market opens.
We are working on the scripts for this.
If you deposited USD after 04:00 MSK you should send us your login, amount and payment system used by email or PM.
Our plan:
1. The trade will be disabled until we restore the balances to the point before market crash.
2. After that, the trade and deposit/withdrawal will be back on, approx. within 1-2 days.
