maybe blockchain is under a ddos attack right now and its purely done for temporal security to ensure funds are not lost.
this is the kind of times where people need to learn that blockchain.info should be used purely has a lazy user interface. and to keep backups of their wallets so that in these times, users can simply put their priv keys into another service and continue as usual whilst blockchain.info sort themselves out.
just because blockchain.info maybe down should not stop anyone accessing their funds.... IF THE USER HAS THEIR PRIVKEYS BACKED UP.
again blockchain.info is just a user interface. the important thing is the privkeys. which can be transported to any bitcoin service and continue as usual.

Forgive my petulance and oft-times, I fear, ill-founded criticisms, and forgive me that I have, by this time, made your eyes and head ache with my long letter. But I cannot forgo hastily the pleasure and pride of thus conversing with you.

Apparently you just need to verify your email according to another bitcointalk member.
Yes, blockchain wallet users should remember to check email for a link to authorise access. It is a bit troublesome, but good for the security of our coins.

If you created a new private key within, I believe a two hour window then they likely disabled your identifier so you can be made aware that you should not use the address associated with such private keys and should spend any funds contained in such addresses to another address

I never got a problem with blockchain.info I still can access my wallet without any problem

Blockchain wallet should only be used to store funds you can afford to lose. If you are panicking in a situation like this you have to many BTC stored.

I used blockchain for gamble or buy a service only. I have no much trust to online wallet.

blockchain.info is actually a relatively secure wallet and is really not an "online" wallet service as they do not ever control/have access to your private keys. Generally speaking, your wallet/private keys are as secure as the computer that generates and accesses the wallet. If push comes to shove, the OP can always "recover" his wallet by importing it into multibit (assuming he is able to gain access to a backup)
