News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Robinhood has been down for over 12 hours

Support tickets have stopped going through as well.

Looking forward to the postmortem.

I personally had a few SPY calls expiring today and Wednesday that I couldn’t execute all day.

Rumor mill and Reddit comedians are having a field day that apparently this happened 4 years ago - their data feeds Abe order book can’t handle leap years and don’t fail gracefully. Take it with a grain of salt of course, but there are some alleged screenshots [1]

I'll be happily surprised if we get a postmortem. Pulling everything out as soon as I can.
