This is relevant to the 2011 outage, not the current 2014 outage that is occurring as I write this. With the way that this article is written, there's no way to add to it the outage that is happening now. Mnemnoch (talk) 05:38, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

Information about what the hack was & why it took a month to fix?
For an article about a hacking incident, there's precious little detail about how the system was actually hacked and why it caused such a long outage. It talks about an "intrusion", was it merely the way the intrusion occurred that meant the outage took so long (ie because it was hard to patch?), did they delete aspects of the service and so it required rebuilding? Was there a persistent threat? Is this kind of information available publicly? Macktheknifeau (talk) 05:19, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
Today's revisions
I took a big whack at the article today. Lots of things moved around and lots of duplicated text removed, that sort of thing. There's still an enormous amount of ropey content on the page that needs rewriting. Joe (talk) 14:49, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
