Web blog hosting platform WordPress.com is currently facing a significant technical issue that has resulted in premium blogs going down under 503 error messages, or reverting back to using default themes.

Impacted sites include major news outlets like BBC America, TechCrunch, 9to5Mac, 9to5Google, VentureBeat, Rolling Stone, DroneDJ, and Electrek; but also many companies that were using the WordPress.com's VIP offering to host corporate blogs, such as Facebook and the Wikimedia Foundation.

Yup. Techcrunch was recently on the default theme
