No K-Blog Conspiracy

I got an e-mail from the Lost Nomad that should put to rest the conspiracy theories about the Korean government targeting Typepad accounts to silence criticism about Dr. Hwang. Nomad was informed from Typepad about what happened:

During routine maintenance of our network and storage systems last night, we experienced an issue with our primary disk system where data from published blogs are stored. We are currently running diagnostics on the device, and working to restore your data as soon as possible. Verifying data can be a slow process and will take time.

In the meantime we are currently deploying backup copies of your weblogs from approximately 2 days ago. This is what will be displayed for your blog. The TypePad application is currently unavailable, which means that users will not be able to log in, and visitors to weblogs will not be able to post comments. We are working to bring TypePad back online as soon as possible.

Is it just me or does Typepad have a lot of problems with their accounts for some reason? Hopefully they will get this problem fixed successfully so the great K-blogs affected by the problem will be back up and running properly.
