Why?
Yesterday around 22:00 a Pokemon GO force update arrived.
Servers in Germany (confirmed) were down, most likely due some backend changes.
Niantics Pokemon GO API has changed too, so the bots won't work for now.
The authors of the bots has already noticed and are waiting out the fixes.
According to reddit (/pokemongo, /pokemongodev), there are no official mentions about ban waves yet!
Why are all bots down now?
They got on ice simultaneously, since they rely on pre-built libraries, which wrap the communication part with the Niantic API for them. This means, they all depend on the same thing, and won't likely get updated separately therefor.
The bot creators just added things like simple AIs and GUIs on top, which mimic human behaviour to make things faster and click&win for us.
Niantic knew this time will come, this is just a totally fine response and was only a matter of time.
Just lay back and wait for a update.

I know this is a release section, but since most threads relate to botting, things are frozen for now.

Die Sorge, dass dies nicht die letzte knifflige Sicherheitsänderung seitens Niantic ist, ist berechtigt und wird von vielen Usern, sowie den derzeitigen API reverse engineers geteilt.
Allerdings schließen sich mit jedem Sicherheitsupdate auch Türen, sowie Motivation und Möglichkeiten der Niantic Entwickler. Sobald die aktuelle Verschlüsselung vollständig geknackt ist, wird Niantic in kürzester Zeit das nächste Update veröffentlichen, aber auch sie müssen mit jedem mal mehr Köpfchen und Wissen einfließen lassen. Es gibt nur eine Hand voll an effizienten Möglichkeiten, Sicherheitsupdates für Client und Server einzubauen. Dazu kommt, dass Niantic auf ein perfektes Spielerlebnis aus ist - dadurch können experimentelle Sicherheitsupdates wie z.B. das Nutzen von neuronalen Netzwerken, um Spieler verhalten zu validieren, nur kaum bis gar nicht umgesetzt werden, da sich das dann negativ auf den 0815 Spieler auswirkt.
Bots wird es allerdings immer geben, es gibt hunderte Möglichkeiten einen Bot für Pokemon GO zu erstellen, und ihn 1:1 wie einen menschlichen Spieler agieren zu lassen, sogar ohne den Gebrauch der aktuellen API Wrapper - das aktuelle Problem ist nur, dass sämtliche Bot's die gleichen Wrapper benutzen, um auf die Niantic API zuzugreifen, da die Wrapper schlicht und weg einfach zu bedienen und als erstes auf dem Markt waren.
Zudem findet die aktuelle Kommunikation über Google's Protocol Buffer statt, welche effizient, aber einfach mitzuschneiden, nachzubauen und zu entschlüsseln ist (High-five an Niantic).
Unsere reverse engineers sind sehr talentiert, allerdings ist die Motivation dahinter noch wichtiger - wenn diese erlischt hat Niantic gewonnen.

Many parts of the unknown6 encryption algorithm were decompiled successfully, as well as re-compiled into a dll. But there are still big mysteries how the encryption actually gets run, and the related protocol field isnt stable.
The unknown6 project got moved over to [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...], multiple developers are still working on it, tirelessly.
The discord channel got flooded by thousands, causing a bizarre back and forth of rw-permission changes. For now, #api-debugging is read-only.
