Still down after 15 hours?
Sounds like one of:
(A) Ransomware or DDoS.
(B) Unexpected single point of failure (like a critical piece of hardware) and they need to rush-order a replacement.
(C) They can't identify the cause. (Doubtful.)
or
(D) Cascading failure. When they fix one thing, something else takes them down. Like a large queue of pending jobs that floods and crashes them when they come back up.
On one hand, I'm glad I don't depend on Square for purchases.
On the other hand, who's to say that my own payment provider can't have this same kind of problem?
