Tonight’s maintenance window will take place from 8pm to 9pm U.S. Pacific Time. During this period, your account will be inaccessible for two brief periods of time. The first will be for approximately 5 minutes. The second will be for about 10 minutes. Both will occur within the one-hour window.
If you are logged into the account during one of the two periods, it will log you out. Please wait at least 5 minutes before attempting to log back in.
We apologize for this inconvenience and will continue to provide updates as more information is available.

Scheduled
The Meltdown and Spectre security flaws related to Intel and other processors were made public yesterday. As a result, several security patches were released to address these vulnerabilities.
In order to avoid any security-related issues, we are actively applying and testing the patches.
As soon as we have more information regarding next steps, we will pass it along.
The main actions you can take to prevent issues related to these flaws are:
1. If you use Windows, apply all updates. Microsoft released a critical patch today.
2. Make sure you are up-to-date with your anti-virus software on your computer.
