Any thoughts on their announcement? Does it seem fishy to you? Some people seem pretty skeptical that a "disk failure" would bring them down for hours like that. I'm not too knowledgeable on the technical aspects, though. Cross-posting from another thread:
I don't think we really know the full story and we may never really know. But the issue is about respecting your customer base.
We are not stupid. Crypto traders and miners are some of the smartest people in the world.
Unless the disc failure was caused by an intruder or deactivated by an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) there was no reason for the site to be shut down like that.
