you have to wonder why they decided to stay up. Surely, if you have a leak this bad, you pull the plug until you can fix it.

Probably a push to prod of something of something that worked on the developers machine, Klarna is at the size where any fault like this would be seen by thousands within any reasonable reaction time.

According to the article they shut down all logins in the app. Unsure if this means you can still use it you are already signed in or not

they shut off the whole app, and kicked off who was logged in. Fair approach until they figure out how to sort it.

As I read it, they did shut down as soon as they knew.
