After investigating the security breach [in Vircurex] we have to come to the conclusion that the attacker has been able to get root access to the systems.

Therefore we need to assume that the wallets might have been copied, thus DO NOT deposit funds. Everyone will be getting a new set of addresses.

Yes this really sucks. The fact that:

1) many of use used Vircurex for alt-MM-coins (I was even advertised with referral)
2) you just can't change payout addresses
3) Vircurex just got hacked (apparently)

Together that means I can throw my account away, and lost coins.
Might be Vircurex pure fail but common... it sucks, it really does.
I think I will never want to depend on hosted wallets again.
But running all alt-chains on your own machine is a pain too.
