As the exchange was hacked I have to assume that nothing on Mintpal is safe right now

Does that sound about right ?

Maybe affects only VRC (theft of their hot wallet privkey ?)

Sounds true. I've heard exchanges operate each coin's wallet in a separate server and it would be only the server containing VRC wallet got compromised. If hacker was able to compromise all wallets, he would take Bitcoin only, why would he take a random shitcoin?

Did the attacker sold all the VRC right away and withdraw BTC? Or did he just send VRC to his own wallet?
