Yahoo, can you pls restore the historical prices of SPY?

I believe this problem started today, as I've extensively used these data in the past few days and everything was fine.

The problem: the historical prices of SPY are missing the whole Jan and Feb 2014.

In fact, the series looks like this:

Mar 4, 2014 186.79 187.98 186.75 187.58 167,545,900 186.76

Dec 31, 2013 184.07 184.69 183.93 184.69 86,119,900 183.88

Being SPY a very major symbol of the exchanges, it's very important to fix this problem.

Thanks!

Update:

ADDITION: Also, I notice these problems that certainly were not present just a few days ago:

IVV : the trading dates 2014-01-10 & 2014-01-13 are not in the price series anymore.

RSP : the trading date 2014-01-10 is not in the price series anymore.

Note that those are VALID trading dates and were in the series since a few days ago.

    It isn't just SPY, for which your complaint is accurate. The problem actually started on March 21, 2014, and has gotten worse. I pull the SPDR sector ETFs (XLF,XLK, etc.) and have the same problem you do. The bottom line is that, since March 21, these historical files have been corrupted either at Yahoo's vendor or internally to Yahoo itself. Will anxiously await the data restoration.
