March 25 7pm PST - Auth Errors & Hidden Records: (EDITED 3/29 for brevity:) A hacker submitted fake URLs to Google, which triggered a runaway GoogleBot indexing our site. This resulted in the aforementioned issues. Though not directly our fault, of course we're obligated to work around the clock until it's resolved. Once added, snipes are unaffected.
March 27 8am PST: Google responded helpfully and removed all fake URLs. Presently, we’re testing their suggestion for a long-term safeguard to prevent similar misuse.
March 29 9:00am PST: All users: Please log out and log in again, if you have not done so since 9:00am PST. This will set a Google reCAPTCHA v3 cookie—their latest version that identifies you as human without needing to click on bridges, buses, fire hydrants).
