Could it have been brought down intentionally? Related to this?

Seems like it was a config change that cause it. They reverted it reality quickly.

How would customer credentials being leaked be part of an outage of this size ?
If its enough of a security issue they could have pulled the site while its fixed/cleaned
If that was the case, you'd think it would've been a less dramatic outage right? Maybe even a status page to indicate that?
Because there are worse things than being down; if the front page got hacked and is spewing gore or CSAM or PII or creds, for example.
