Dear Friends,
While we are streamlining our marketing department so that they can catch up with all news that needs to be released and all collected information becomes available as promised, we are proud to announce Liberty Reserve Premium.
Shortly you will see a new menu item on our web site called LR Premium. LR Premium is a membership level that will allow users to become voluntarily verified and once they are, they will be able to order debit cards, purchase Liberty Reserve inventory directly from us via credit cards and to (NEW FEATURE) be able to buy and sell Liberty Reserve directly to us via bank wire, for orders of USD 10,000 or Euro 10,000 or more. We will also update our fees page to reflect additional services and corresponding fees for them. Please bear with us while we transform Liberty Reserve into a more user friendly payment platform that satisfies needs of all customers. This decision was rendered as a result to minimize downtime to a bare minimum (rather than performing a few small updates, we will perfrom one large update that integrates all that is needed). Estimated down time is expected to be less than 10-20 minutes. We will anounce ahead of time when this should take place.
Thank you to all our members for helping us to become one of the best payment systems on the market.

Facts and Fairytales
Let us save you some time:
The following delusional remarks are fairytales:
1. Employees that are no longer with us
2. Employees, that have quit, died or got angry
3. Anything those “alleged” employees may say
4. 1 million dollars missing
5. Law suits are filed
6. There is panic some place and exchangers cannot out-exchange funds freely
7. API hacks, holes, loopholes, dust mites, microbes, viruses, etc.
Facts:
We work with same employees that we have worked with and all of them are happy to work with our company. Liberty Reserve was also recognized recently as one of the best companies to work for in Costa Rica. As you see all of this information is generated solely by a single entity, that is connected or probably requested by a circle of our competitors. It is very easy to see who is connected to what, just look for similarities in hosting, DDOS protection, acceptance or promotion of a certain payment system. This information is also “confirmed” and verified by an unknown people from unknown places on forums that hide behind proxies who are in turn promote the same article. We know that our users will not fall victims of these childish and unreal allegations. This poor and unsuccessful attempt was put in place simply to create doubts. Some victims of phishing attempts got their accounts compromised and we are working with them to trace the funds and bring responsible for that to justice.
Bottom Line:
The only official source of information is still our blog. Liberty Reserve is as strong as always and is not going anywhere. We have many plans to fulfill and are involved in many activities to promote culture, environment, safety, security and to make sure that our users have access to the same private and secure environment for their financial affairs they have grown accustomed to.
P.S. Again, and again - Do not click on any links.
P.P.S. Help Center will start working again after it was hit with a DDOS attack.

Further Improvements
Please note that in order to further protect customers who have fallen victims to recent phishing attacks, we are now implementing a new feature that will force every customer change random login information every 60 (sixty) days. Please note you will NOT be asked for your current passwords, if you are in your account - it was correct. The new advanced security system implemented will monitor everyone's account for unusual activity and will take measures from simply restricting login to your account temporarily all the way to locking your funds if it feels that your account is compromised. This system is unique to Liberty Reserve in digital currencies arena and is currently only being used by very large banks. Just as always - security comes first.
If your current exchanger has fallen victim of rumors and is trying to take advantage of you with higher than reasonable fees - please consider using another exchanger that will not take advantage of you.
We apologize for the slight downtime required to implement this change. We appreciate your patience.

Quality Assurance
For those of you who may have seen some bizarre and ridiculous rumors about our system having any security instances - please be aware that those ARE in fact rumors.
Our members were a target of many recent phishing attacks that resulted in some of them clicking on malicious links in e-mail or visiting a malicious web site to provide or update any account information, against our numerous warnings. Once your login information is compromised, malicious users can have full access to your account and to its' features, including adding and using API. This has nothing to do with the security of API, as all actions are taken from within a user's account. Please be aware that Liberty Reserve will NEVER send out any confirmation, validation or any other e-mail or link to any of its' account holders.
The best way to remain secure is to educate yourself, install the latest anti-virus software (and keep it updated), install the plug in Liberty Guard, that will help you avoid many phishing web sites. Still NEVER click on any links. One more thing that would help is to check your account information, to make sure it stays current and to update passwords to your on-line banking, e-mails and other places where you have an on-line account at least once every few months. Use different passwords for each and everyone of them.
As for the security of Liberty Reserve, you can rely on many years of experience and on reputation that Liberty Reserve, McAfee, Prolexic, Cisco and many other "best of the best" companies that Liberty Reserve has assembled around its' company to make sure that security of your account will not only be on par but exceed most on-line banks. Liberty Reserve - experience you can count on, safety you can rely on, financial fortress you can feel safe in.
Exchangers update:
Please note that we no longer authorize the following exchangers to conduct any business with Liberty Reserve due to trust, fraud, numerous unanswered complaints, and other concerns:
w-777.com, wmoney.in.ua, trainexservice.com or any other businesses associated with them.
If you will see those web sites still operating with Liberty Reserve, they are doing so in violation of our Terms of Service and your Liberty Reserve funds may be at risk with them.

Finally
Dear friends,
The web site should be becoming available in certain regions at first and slowly for everyone else. We could not apologize enough for the extended delay. But Liberty Reserve has always chosen privacy, security and safety as issues of primary concern. Please, as always, rest assured that Liberty Reserve remains the safest place to conduct your financial transactions, and while outages are hard to forecast, we would like to assure you that everything will be done in our power to minimize those to the bare necessary minimum. Including adding two mirrors (that are being implemented now).
Please note that the ONLY OFFICIAL source of information regarding the status of our system is this blog and not any other forum or a newsletter or an e-mail. You may be introduced to some quite bizarre rumors during this outage and false information that was cooked up by an unfriendly and dishonorable competitors but as always, Liberty Reserve will lead the way and is not going anywhere for many years to come.
We have committed ourselves to offer the best service - and we will.
We appreciate your understanding and your continued support.
