Hi Amanda, Sorry about that. Yes, Referata is currently hacked, and has been hacked repeatedly by someone in the last few days. No, Referata is not going away. I had hoped this problem could have been fixed I already, but I'm hoping to get it fixed soon, and to get rid of whatever security vulnerability they're currently exploiting.
