The web wallet is currently under a DDOS attack, countermeasures are being taken, we are waiting for the results.
If you are wondering what a DDOS attack is:
This will continue for as long as the attacker can afford it, as DDOS is a paid service offered on the black market, so it is unpredictable when it ends. We hope that countermeasures will eventually allow for almost normal access to the wallet.
Your coins can't be stolen with this DDOS unless you visit some phishing site impersonating the official one (that's exactly what DDOS attack is usually started for in the first place). There is no user data kept of the web wallet site, it's just a proxy between your browser and a set of remove Kaspa nodes. All sensitive data is stored locally on your browser's so called "local storage" (an internal database) and never leaves you PC/mobile.
Don't answer to any DMs you're getting, these are all scammers utilizing your anxiety. Admins only talk publicly, they don't ever DM.
