A follow on to this, there was an e-mail from BitFloor reportedly sent out to some accountholders, apparently those who had created API keys. Here's a link to that thread:

Apparently, that was not the truth. Now the operator of BitFloor claims the wallet has been compromised and all BTC funds stolen:

No coins were kept in cold storage, and all coins from the hot wallet are now spent.

As a last resort, I will be forced to fully shut BitFloor down and initiate account repayment using current available funds. I still have all of the logs for accounts, trades, transfers. I know exactly how much each user currently has in their account for both USD and BTC. No records were lost in this attack.

Why would you not have an offline machine just for storing reserves?
