So it seems someone got control of the registrar. So guess for a failure of networksolutions? social engineering of the same? or phishing?

update: August 22 FA is back up. See announcement on twitter, discord, or screenshots of the same floating around.

I'd rather guess someone got access to FA's Cloudflare account. furaffinity.net just resolves to a CF IP as it used to.

There are screenshots from the FA discord floating around that state it was the account with the registrar that was compromised.
