I’ve been unable to access Reddit for three days now. I doubt it’s a major outage, as nobody seems to complain about it. A Boston-based friend reported not being able to reach it for a day, but then it came back normal.
I’ve temporarily changed my DNS servers from Comcast to OpenDNS: same results.
Any clues?
Thanks.
Update (12/15): I’ve found the answers, perhaps not surprisingly, of all places on Reddit competitor Digg. It was indeed a botched domain transfer, but the effect is taking longer than expected. Oh, and while at it, they also had some backup media stolen. The reddit team feels “confident, however, that because we do not collect any personal information from our users, the ability to do harm with the data that was taken is greatly reduced.” However, since userid, password and email data are compromised, they are warning anyone who uses the same credentials at other sites to change it all.
They did have DNS issues which brought down the service. After that they are saying your password may have been compromised.
