4.50pm: Big news: MasterCard confirms that its SecureCode payments system is in trouble, issuing this statement:

Please be advised that MasterCard SecureCode Support has detected a service disruption to the MasterCard Directory Server. The Directory Server service has been failed over to a secondary site however customers may still be experiencing intermittent connectivity issues. More information on the estimated time of recovery will be shared in due course.

6.01pm: How did an online attack against mastercard.com also take down MasterCard's payment system backdoor at securecode.com? Because, points out a reader, MasterCard unwisely has both sites linked on the same network connection. Overload one and you also block the other.
