At a minimum they had some hacked web UI mayhem going on along with at least 1 admin account compromised…now they are in an at least partially down state. Might be worth alerting the Powers That Be to see if they want to offer assistance and if any measures should be taken to protect servers federated with it.

    Thanks for the explanation. What terrible news…

    Seems we’re still in the early stages for this major happening, so I’m sure there will be more information released very shortly.

    I guess this goes to show why a federated networks are important, and why people shouldn’t flock to the most popular instance. Right now many communities are down because of this, while the ones that were wise enough to set up their own instances are unaffected.
