There's something dodgy going on with the store, security-wise.

I've been unable to login. Thought perhaps that I'd forgotten my password, so reset it twice via the store (after receiving auto-emails to reset). Both times, following reset, the store auto-populated my email with someone else's. First time it was with someone's @live.com email (not mine or anyone who uses this PC), and second time it was with someone's hotmail.ca account (also not mine - I'm based in the US).

Also, despite both password resets, I'm getting error messages: Incorrect CAPTCHA - whatever that means. It's all a bit fishy...

The shop is overloaded at the moment. Probably experiencing tons of timeouts reaching the database, resulting in all sorts of badness. You should try again later.

Yes, it is being overloaded. But why is it prepopulating other users' email addresses in my browser?? That would seem like a security issue vs. a stress issue.

Unexpected errors + bad error handling = security issue. This is pretty bad though. Grab a screenshot and ticket it! Might as well delete the pertinent cookies in your browser. Can't be too careful.
