anniversary of The Great Outage


We are nearly at the anniversary of The Great Outage, May 19 2025 to May 27 2025. At the time, many Mathworks services were down due to a ransomware attack.
Some service was restored by May 21 2025 but it went down again after that.
I see some indication that some features such as @doc took even longer to restore than May 27th.
The outage came as MATLAB Answers usage was already declining a fair bit due to widespread AI use, and unfortunately some of the existing traffic just never came back.

Today, May 15th, I am met with a "Acess Denied..." when trying to get to the File Exchange. Am I the only one, or are we a group that are starting this as a yearly tradition,?
