What happened
The Organization for Transformative Works, which runs Archive of Our Own (AO3), says a security incident has taken the site down for maintenance. Restoration is estimated at about two weeks and could take up to a month. The operator says it does not expect any data loss, and it has ruled out a link to the recent PHP security issue because AO3 runs on Ruby on Rails.
