I hate to write titles like this one, but it seems I have no other option.
Facts:
- yesterday I sent 20 STEEM to @poloniex, they received it ok, as you can see from the screenshot below
- half an hour after I sent it (and still not seeing it in my account) I opened a ticket:
- at the moment of writing, the ticket is still in "Processing" state, so I got no reply in almost 24 hours.
I don't want to be the guy who brings bad news, but I saw that they are still getting a lot of funds sent. So, it's not a question about the size of the transaction, but rather about the actual situation. IF the wallet has been hacked, then innocent people are sending their funds to the wrong place.
I'd be very, very happy if someone from @poloniex could answer me to the following questions:
- is this an isolated event? if yes, what is the link between the affected users (I saw at least 4 other people inquiring)?
- if the wallet was compromised, is there any concern for @poloniex user accounts (their accounts are secure)?
- if it was not compromised, what the fuck is going on?
I have no other choice but to strongly recommend to all of my followers, not only as a Steemian, but also as a witness, to avoid completely @poloniex until we get an official word from them.
Resteeming this may help them answer faster.
Still hope this is just temporary and might be just a communication glitch, but from the looks of it, it isn't.

Thanks for the warning.
I usually send a small tester amount to make sure things are working ok, before sending a decent chunk.
This stuff still makes me nervous. As soon as i have done my exchange i shift everything off the exchange and into my wallet.
I hope it is secure there, but I don't really know. So far I haven't lost any money, but I probably will at some point.
The crypto world is just like the real world in that respect.

that is in reality traumatic me. I truly wish that this isn't a hack and that their bot/node is currently offline. even though it's miles a hack, i am hoping that the entire website hasn't been compromised, too many humans have high volumes of crypto there.

I used to be a user of poloniex, but lost a lot of my mind:). Anyway bittrex is far better in my opinion. Hope your problem get resolved.

Use Bitshares DEX for trading Steem and your funds will be safe.

I've seen nothing but complaints of Steem and SBD on Polo. I'm starting to see some comlaints surface about bittrex as well so may try and consolidate my funds and pull them off there as well.

I have a ticket still processing for months... they are very slow in this regard:
There was even a contest to see the longest open ticket on that website...
Once I transferred 60 SBD to them... they put a message that they have problems with SBD wallet just few hours after.... The money returned to me BUT AFTER TWO MONTHS OF WAITING!!
There's a trick I discovered earlier today that can convert your SBD top poloniex (as Dash, Doge or LTC) by using @blocktrades... I'm thinking of writing a post about it but not sure...

It's not possible that I lost 170 Steem ... I sent money from my poor power down there, I sent a message to the support, nobody says anything and that expectation leaves me very distressed. For many 170 Steem is nothing, but for me it is very valuable :(

I sent Steem to Poloniex 12 hours ago and it's not even showing as pending... I'm definitely concerned.

Open ledger is even worse. They are under maintenance for two days. Decentralised exchange. Bla, bla, bla. They are all the same. When people want to make some good trades they put they coins on hold.

Write as many posts as you can to let others know. They are sitting on millions. Steemit needs to intervene and shut down the account and refund everyone their money. It can be done.
