Our teams are continuing to deploy the required security updates across affected systems in response to the Januscape Vulnerability (CVE-2026-53359). As part of this remediation, some systems require a controlled reboot to complete the patching process. Following each reboot, we are validating system availability, service health, and network connectivity. Systems that do not return to service as expected are being actively investigated and restored by our operations teams. We understand the importance of maintaining availability and are working carefully to complete this remediation while minimizing customer impact. Additional updates will be provided as patching and validation efforts continue.
