The team at WordPress still looking at the cause of the outage so to prevent it from happening again.</p>
<p>The outage happened when I was updating WordPress Stats plugin for the self-install WordPress Blogs that I am managing/maintaining. Based on this one information, could the outage involved WordPress API server or the Stats server?</p>
<p>Since I don&#8217;t really have access to WordPress.com core servers, I wouldn&#8217;t really know what was really going on. It&#8217;s just a hunch.</p>
