Nobody is worried that this is just a complete snapshot of the 'old' BTC-E with the chatbox and the database before it went down and nothing else (considering the trading backend/withdrawal system is not active).
What if it's just exactly as I mentioned in the first sentence and everyone logging in is actually giving their complete login info to people that want to have full access to your BTC in those accounts?
This theory has already been debunked. Try logging in with an incorrect password: you will not gain access. Log in with the correct credentials and you can gain access. In other words, if this is a honeypot or a phishing attack, whoever is operating it already has all of our credentials.
It's on the old .nz domain which was always used by Russian customers of the exchange. I think the only way that this is not the real admins bringing up the site is if it's a honeypot run by the US authorities.
That leads us to ask, how would they have obtained a complete, up-to-date decrypted database for their customers?
