I even tried to google and see if there's any site down "announcement" but didn't find any. I thought no IB people was working on it since it's weekend. I assume I would have to wait till Monday (U.S. time) since IB hasn't had a fast response time to FTers technical "needs" in the past.
I decided to give a last shoot just now and found out FT is finally back. It must just happened in the last 3 hours or so. I believe the downtime was more than 50 hours in my region.
I would think at least IB/FT could have sent an email (or something similar to TalkMail) to give FTers a headsup since the site wasn't available. Nothing in my email from FT/IB the whole time.
Sad to know it's due to a cyber attack though.
