WDS Customers –
As communicated earlier today, the WDS production environment hosting (e.g.
http://yoursite.harvard.edu) was pulled offline for emergency maintenance.
Since our last communication, we have been working with our UIS colleagues
to determine the nature and scope of the problem. Initial investigation has
pointed up a security issue, and we are now actively working on two things:
1) continuing the investigation in a manner in which will not disturb any
evidence that could be important, and 2) developing a recovery plan that
will minimize the impact on your websites should this prove to be a problem
that will require deeper forensics.
We are aware that this involves a very serious business disruption, and are
focusing any/all available resources to completely understand the situation
and recover as quickly as possible. We will be back in touch later this
afternoon with an update.
Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience, and we ask that
you share this message with your colleagues as or if needed.
