Reposting this, my previous submission got removed or HN's server has gone quirky.

If my previous submission was removed, please let me know why HN. This is industry news....

First off, this is not 'industry news'. This is gossip.

Second, pg's official response: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5416908

Their twitter announced this news too, not just facebook, and they are continuing to post status updates on their services so I don't think they were hacked...

[dutchbrit]

Just saw it - pg or whoever removed my previous submission, at least communicate why you removed it when doing so in the future, even if it's just a link to another thread.

Less confusion = less hassle

They're deleting everything related to this. Somebody thinks Sendgrid was hacked and this is all bullshit, at least that's the excuse.

I would of fired her so this news wouldn't of surprised me to be honest..
