EvE online and DUst 514 servers got ganked yesterday.
Around 02:00 UTC on June the 2nd CCP's servers came under fire from a DDOS (Distributed denial-of-service) attack.
CCP's policy in these cases are "to mobilize a taskforce of internal and external experts to evaluate the situation."
However that taskforce quickly came to the conclusion that bringing the server clusters off-line were the best action at this point.

In a news-post over at the EvE-online site CCP said :
"What we can now confirm is that a person was able to utilize a vulnerability in one of the back-end services that support the operation of the Tranquility server. This vulnerability has now been secured and thoroughly tested."
As of 10:13 UTC today (June 3rd) both the EvE and DUST514 servers are back up and running, and CCP will "compensate" players in some fashion, CCP is nice like that, even when it comes to stuff that really are out of their hands.
The usual thing would be Skill-points which you can just apply to any skill you want, but nothing has been said yet on what the compensation will be.
