Cloudflare "Host Error"...

[kristenrice]

I'm trying to log in to my bank (Lake Michigan Credit Union) and I am getting a "host" error. It says that the host platform (Cloudflare) indicates that something on the server is "hogging resources" so the server cannot respond to requests. The app is also unresponsive. While I only have about $150 in this bank, my teenagers have their "life savings" in their accounts and they are having anxiety attacks right now. I tried calling, but the wait time is over an hour. Is this an ominous sign? (Ransomware attack, etc?) Or is this probably something not nearly as nefarious and probably a temporary system glitch?

More than likely it is just a server outage and will be back as soon as the IT people get it fixed.

No site will ever have 100% uptime.

It just sounds like the website is down, or they're having server trouble. If you don't want to wait on a call, I'd try again tomorrow. I don't think they're going to skulk out of town in the dead of night.

I don't think they're going to skulk out of town in the dead of night.

And even if they did the NCUA insures up to $250,000 per credit union members. If your kids have more than that in their member accounts they are doing well!

That error can be a real pain, but don't worry, we've got your back. It sounds like your site's hosting might be having a hiccup.

Who's "we"?

And I hope in 9 months, they've been able to access their bank account.

Ahh....yes...it resolved later that day
