All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXVII

There's been one update:

Adding to the above, while the servers which actually hold image files are unaffected, the server that verifies that users have the proper permissions to view files and which directs traffic is down. This means that requests for images might return errors such as "Unauthorized. You do not have permission to view this file." and such. We are working to correct the issue but have no ETA at the moment for when this will be fixed. Agent Isai Talk to me! 00:36, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

Speaking as somebody who's spent a decade in Storage and Backup, this doesn't sound like a disk issue to me. This is a security issue - not "we didn't have enough security to stop a hack", but "the security that we have is malfunctioning".
