Hello - just tried to buy something and the Verfied by Visa / Mastercard system does not seem to be working - anybody else had problems with it tonight?

Did you have to use the mastercard "securecard" verification system? (i.e. like the verified by visa password)

The Mastercard Secure Code directory is still experiencing intermittent outages due to the continued attack."
