Record note

Do not mark dead yet. Reuters and other sources report a major hack and offline website/app state, but current evidence does not prove permanent shutdown, liquidation, or service death. Keep as limited unless a later closure or durable recovery marker is confirmed.

Revision state

Records may be incomplete, approximate, contested, or revised as better evidence becomes available.

This record may be incomplete or revised. Dead-side entries prefer archived URLs over original domains. Dates, causes, and classifications may change when stronger evidence becomes available. Contact / corrections
