Slack "Making WordPress" disappeared

[tobifjellner]

Slack says that "wordpress.slack.com" has been deleted.

Same here! What happened!

To my knowledge, there are already many people looking into this right now.

This is being worked on from my understanding, I'm sure it'll be back up soon (this information is second hand through @sippis) :), I'd like to propose a non-work Tuesday moving forward! It'll do us all good.

We've made one of the administrators on the Slack account aware and they are investigating.

Just noting that we're aware of this, and have been communicating with Slack to get the workspace reinstated.

Will there be a post describing what happened?

[dd32]

Replying to dingo_d:

Will there be a post describing what happened?

Most likely there'll be some form of official note from someone more awake than me.

Apologies for not including some kind of note with my fixed comment :)

For now, I'll just note that (since let's be honest, we all jumped to it..)

• This wasn't a security event, no accounts were hacked or misused
• This wasn't a deliberate malicious act, nor did someone accidentally just trip over the power cable :)

Cool, thanks for the explanation and for the fix 👍🏼
