Identified

The issue has been identified as a failure of the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system at our upstream provider’s datacenter in Newark. These systems are critical for maintaining proper temperature and airflow within the facility, and their failure has impacted both internal infrastructure and customer-facing services. The upstream provider’s team has been working on-site around the clock to restore full functionality.

At this time possible website restorations from offsite backups are under consideration, to standby clusters located in a completely different datacenter, as an emergency solution so that the website functionality can be restored.

We will continue to provide updates as progress is made.
