Resolved -
After an extensive investigation, the incident was identified and resolved.
The root cause was traced to external security software (called Cloudflare) that secures web services such as our PCS, in combination with security software used within some corporate networks.
As a result, many websites worldwide experienced similar disruptions.
This afternoon, the software provider Cloudflare implemented a solution, which has now also resolved the PCS accessibility issues.

Unfortunately we have not found the cause of logging in issues yet. There is no working workaround either. Not all users are experiencing the issues. If you don't encounter issues, it's safe to use the PCS.
