I placed a few orders right before the site went down (NUCLEUS). Now its back up, but every vendor is banned. The fuck is going on? Should I expect to get my product?
So why are all vendors banned?

Most likely they fear there was some suspicious activity on one of the accounts that caused them to shut down for a day, so all effected vendors are banned until they can work out who is responsible. Or at the very least they suspect one of them.

their accounts were comprimised, they will remain banned until the vendor takes control of them, to do that they need to proof they are who they say they are ie sign a message to the admin

Cause someone exploited their code and every dumb fuck screaming exit scam doesn't understand programming and doesn't realize Nucleus is trying to SAVE money for the vendors at this point.. If they decide the exploit is more trouble than it's worth they very well could just walk off with the coins, can we all just shut the fuck up about Nuc though there are about 50 other markets and this type of thing has happened multiple times at the same time of year every year..hmmmmm dingle berries

I'm not banned on Nucleus but I did put myself in Vacation Mode until things calm down.

I think the hacker did this to drain their wallets, as when you look at it, it's some of the biggest vendors in each category (Meerkovo, Humboltfarms etc), these wallets would have had the most in them.

All vendors are banned because they all decided to exit scam at once. It the end of the DNM! U better belize.
From the few puzzle pieces I've gathered about this, and I have by no means digged deep, it appears to me that someone has found a way to gain access to specific people's accounts.
Some vendors have reported that their passwords have been changed prior to nucleus being shut down for maintenance.
So one can draw the conclusion, that an advisory might have found a security vulnerability, or some mod has gone rogue, and tried to overtake certain accounts. He has, in that case, changed the passwords and nucleus presumably does not know which passwords have been changed by the attacker and thus can't do an automatized rollback, resulting in requiring the vendors in contacting them and proving their identity.
That's just my $0.02, as some would say, though.
