AO3 hacked; site down 2-4 weeks, user data at risk

Users question the 2-4 week recovery timeline

3 Oct 31 1:19 AM · 12d ago · 1 comment · 1 source · development 3 of 3

Community members expressed skepticism at AO3's expected 2-4 week downtime, suggesting professional incident response firms could restore service faster.

“That seems crazy to me. I've been part of orgs that have had stuff like this happen and they've been mostly back within 24 hours.”
