Crazy to see this story on the front page of the BBC and now Hacker News too! Ronnie was an awesome guy, and absolutely a part of Rob and Dianne's family, not a "maid" as another comment suggested.

Looks like 30+ instances of downtime in the last couple of weeks. Anyone know what's going on there?

Not saying that this breach is somehow connected, but all of my Wise cards(both physical and virtual) got charged($10, $100, $500) at random locations of the globe in May & June and method was manual entry. While some charges were declined initially because the expiry date was entered wrong on first try(all of my cards coincidentally have expiry date like 04/24 or similar) but cvv was always correct. To make matters worse, all these charges were manually entered somewhere and NO approval notification(thing that I get when I make any online Txn, regardless of amount) ever popped up. I only noticed the declined txns in the evening when I went to check my phone after work.
Wise sent me an email this month that there was a breach at Evolve but all ties were broken with them and no data was affected. But these random rise of fraud txn were saying otherwise. Also, thankfully, the txns were declined due to insufficient fund(I only use wise during travelling and add fund before departure) which gets me extra worried that those might have gone through if I had funds even when all of those cards were frozen[1].
[1] This is my typical habit after getting one of my real credit card with very high limits getting charged thousands of Euros while I was out sick in hospital for a month and then getting greeted by all these charges while I was barely able to sit still and still recovering. Thankfully, my creditcard provider accepted my paperwork and removed(reversed?) those txn and immediately sent me a replacement card in a week and disabled my hacked card. Since then, I always keep my CC frozen and only use proxy(Wise) when doing txn online with limited balance.
Had same issue with Wise followed by same email about Evolve. I don't think Wise have discovered (or want to admit) the real scope of the issue.
