WordPress Slack was down for a brief period of time on Tuesday morning. Here’s the conversation that emerged about this in Post Status Slack, and a Trac ticket opened by Tor-Bjorn Fjellner. 🎫
What happened? Nothing too exciting — not a security event or a malicious act. Josepha Haden Chomphosy explained, “the final step on a profile deletion request went unattended.” She also outlined the steps being taken to prevent this from happening again in the future.
I’m actually impressed that Slack uptime for WordPress (and in general) has been as good as it has been over the years. 👍
