1. Ruby Central hosts, maintains, and sponsors Rubygems and Bundler
2. Based on recent events, it was possible that credentials were stolen (https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/60-malicious-...)
3. They decided to lock everyone out until security issues could be resolved
It makes sense to me from a security standpoint, but their communication has been terrible which has led to a lot of speculation.
I always get a positive response.
