Confirmed - was able to log in. Some account info is still there, though my mortgage is unavailable. Maybe they'll just lose it?

Your deposits, sure, your trust, of course. The mortgage loan? Fat chance.
Unless evil corp was using a blockchain to have an immutable ledger, there's a chance (although extremely small)
If evil corp stores said buzzword stack exclusively on that large rack that's currently on fire because of compliance nothing is gained. Not every problem is a nail.
I don’t follow, are you saying this outage was caused by compliance or that the blockchain can’t help here because of compliance?
Neither, I was trying to suggest that offering Blockchain and related technologies as a solution to every problem in existence is kind of an annoying trend. I don't really see the outage discussed here as a technical problem. Quite literally any failover mechanism would have been preferrable here.
