Here, let me help

Yeah, but it lasted a lot longer than 3 minutes!

[wetdryvac]

It most certainly did. The post I copy/pasted is here: http://lj-maintenance.livejournal.com/131843.html

And the comment thread to that post pretty clearly demonstrates that the problem exceeded three minutes for a number of people.

Definitely so, then! LJ seems like they're just being dismissive. Is that how business is done in Russia?!

[glowing_dragon]

Apparently!

This issue primarily affected people in the United States; the Russian-speaking audience was almost completely unaffected because the changes occurred very late at night in Russia.

Gotta love how the LJ customers living outside the United States and Russia don't even rate a mention.

Were we "almost completely unaffected" too, or was our privacy compromised? A little? A lot?

Are we considered even more insignificant than the American customer base? Hard to imagine, but I'm beginning to think anything's possible with LJ.

*boils*

Wait... There are other countries beside the US and Russia? What is this madness?!

[zimtkeks]

I think it rather sounds as if they have no clue who was affected and who wasn't; they just guessed from the time of day. But since it seems to have gone on for about 24 hours, everybody in the world may have had the same risk.

That was EXACTLY my thought when I read this.
