UPDATE (03/22 0913 UTC): The site is up and stable. We are still working through the details of what happened and may have to take the site down again. UPDATE (03/22 0755 UTC): We've discovered the source of the problem. It is not a security breach. It may not be necessary to redeploy and roll back, but I'm not 100% on that. The site may also come back online briefly and go out again in the next few hours. Silk Road has gone offline unexpectedly. The reason for the outage is as yet unknown. We are redeploying from the most recent back up which appears to be as much as 3.5 hours old. We've prepared for this eventuality and will hopefully have the site up and running soon. I will keep you informed via this thread. - -Dread Pirate Roberts
