Updated with details: Do not use mercatox! Exchange website is hacked.
Update 2: They are back down again this time the down for maintenance due to DDOS page no longer has shady links and they state they are moving servers.
Update 1: I have received word that they are back online and have gotten reports of some users able to withdraw funds. I still have not finished investigation as to the details of the phishing twitter links.
I will make this quick because got drama going on right now but I wanted to pass the word on....I do no know if the wallets were stolen or just the domain.... But Mercatox website has been hacked...... it is even sending a link to a fake twitter website wanting you to login. Do not be tricked
informative post

I found some people on twitter are also noticing like here: https://twitter.com/IcarusGlider/status/940670440430764035
Mercatox is the worst exchange I've ever worked with. They withheld my btcs and they don't answer the customer requests from any channel that I've tried.
Also, the team is scam. They don't exist anywhere on web. SCAM.
