    We are investigating delays in incident persistence. Once we determine the impact and scale of these we'll post our next update in 2 hours, if not sooner.

    The team has identified the cause of the delay and is actively working to resolve the issue. Unfortunately, a gap in our monitoring has resulted in incidents for some accounts being lost over the last few days. The team will be working to recover this data once the delay has been resolved. We apologize for the impact this event has caused. We'll post our next update at 21:00 UTC if not sooner.

    We are seeing a recurrence of delays in incident persistence, currently around 10 hours. To help stabilize the system, Botnet Incidents are temporarily not being consumed by ThreatSync. Our teams are monitoring closely and working on a long-term solution, while also investigating the recovery of any data that may have been affected. We'll post our next update on April 22 at 20:00 UTC, if not sooner. Thanks for your patience.

    We are still working hard to resolve delays in incident persistence. As a load-control measure, Botnet incidents have been fully filtered out. Our teams continue to monitor the system closely and are working on implementing a long-term fix. We will work to recover any data that may have been affected once the delays have been fully resolved. We'll post our next update on April 23 at 02:00 UTC, if not sooner. Thanks for your patience.
