- postmortem Mar 26, 2026, 01:42 PM UTC
On Thursday, March 19, 2026, from approximately 11:56 \(UTC\) until 13:14 \(UTC\), some UK users experienced intermittent issues while attempting to log in to Prevent and Protect consoles. This incident was caused by a configuration timeout in our session management system. To resolve this issue, we increased the timeout limit, and the Prevent and Protect consoles returned to normal performance by 13:14 \(UTC\). To prevent this type of issue in the future, we have improved our timeout monitoring process and are verifying configuration consistency and optimization across our environments. No data loss occurred as a result of this issue.
