According to Exodus' trouble ticket it is a BGP instability between
several locations in their network and with BGP customers.
Whether it was a security issue, vendor bug or operator error hasn't
been determined yet. Exodus customers should contact Exodus customer
service for more information, reporters should contact Exodus media
relations for more information.
I don't know if Exodus will have any public statement.
