Turns out they discovered a security breach which would allow people to 
manipulate the database, so they shut everything down until they could 
close it. As far as I can make out they think someone may have used it 
to manipulate their own records in their favour (giving themselves large 
numbers of officer-class mods) but they state categorically that nobody 
else has suffered. Presumably the culprit has been thrown out of game, 
banned and strapped to a rock in Iceland with crows picking at their 
liver (CCP have a robust EULA).
I also missed about 5 hours training but on a character 2.5 years old 
that is not going to cause me to lose much sleep.
