  5. postmortem Jul 10, 2026, 12:30 PM UTC

    On July 9, 2026, at 15:43 UTC, customers were unable to login to [cloud.linode.com](http://cloud.linode.com) using username and password. Customers were getting "wrong password" error message. Investigation revealed that the issue was due to an internal certificate issue. To mitigate the impact, we fixed the certificate issue on the impacted servers at 17:24 UTC on July 9, 2026. After monitoring our systems for some time, we confirmed the issue was fully resolved. Akamai will deploy a permanent fix to prevent a recurrence of the issue.
