Proper communication on this one so far, though. Informative downtime message Smiley
But yeah, it's a pity they're the ones with a breach again

The fact that they don't run their own dedicated servers, but rely on a vulerable third party speaks mountains about their level of security, or lack thereof. What they fail to understand is that when running such a delicate service as they do, they need to be in control of everything themselves and be paranoid about security. Obiously they've failed on all accounts. The question is, how many hacks can they take before they throw in the towel and quits alltogether.
