Today morning when I tried to sync my Fitbit it didn't allow to sync and I was abruptly logged out of the App. On trying again I got a message we are experiencing an issue while contacting the server. When I tried to login to my account from the web I got the message

The server error seems to be in Americas region.
The exact cause of the crash is unclear but few reasons could be:
- The server has crashed due to technical reasons like a bug or hardware issue.
- Too much traffic on the server also crashes servers sometimes but usually companies like Fitbit have very strong load balancing servers.
- There may be a possibility of DOS attack (Denial of Service attack) when the server is flooded with too may requests by hackers.
- It could be possible that FitBit server is hacked (Hope not)
One thing is for sure it's not a planned service maintenance as it has happened without any announcement.
