Title: HELP! Virwox victim of DDOS attack!
Post by: d4bz0nd4bz on January 22, 2013, 12:02 am
I used bitinstant and MP'd to Virwox.

There was an error in the transaction but it was the right address.

Virwox replied and said they were a victim of  "another DDOS-attack" and asked BitInstant Support to "please resend the funds" but for some reason this sounds really weird? I'm pretty sure Bitcoins don't just disappear and I've read from multiple sources that Virwox is reputable.

Any hero/seniors out there that can lend there .02 btc?
Please and thanks! Lots of loot at hand :/

Just a small nudge up the list here.

Any advice would be appreciated. Has this happened to anyone?

I can pretty much say with certainty that if Virwox did say that to you they would be telling the truth they're a very reputable 3rd party broker in other online alternate currency such as Linden dollars in second life,hang in there dude shit happens.but I cant see why they wouldn't be telling the truth.
Follow the support and work with them you'll get sorted i imagine.

from what I know of virwox (I've been using them on and off for years) and they guy who runs it, they're extremely reputable.  I think they had a ddos a few weeks back so it wouldn't surprise me if they've been hit again, after all, a lot of the bitcoin places seem to have been hit down the last few weeks.

I'm sad though, it looks like they're probably too busy to send my money out (if they can) I can see I'm never going to get funds into here!!
