Mine's been working today. I logged a run and it synched with both Garmin Connect and Strava.

The rumor was that Garmin was hacked with ransomware.

It's uploading activities now, but some of the content might not be accessible yet. The app still says down for maintenance.

they have slowly been bringing services back online since Monday. i'm assuming they paid some negotiated portion of the original 10mil ransom.

The decryption programs aren't 100% reliable and they will lose a large portion of the recent data.

Highly unlikely. I would assume they restored services from tape backup.
