The website just updated to show the Twitter announcements so let's hope they are close to getting it back online.
I noticed that too right now ~ this should give people more confidence as if BTC-E was to run with people's funds, they would have left completely.
I am 90% certain that this has to do with a potential hack. It doesn't necessarily has to mean that funds have been stolen, but still, user information might have been compromised.
More updates BTC-E, please!!!
