We have identified an issue affecting the database, which has resulted in a backlog in scan and report processing. A fix has been deployed, and the service is now recovering. We expect it to take up to 96 hours for the backlog of scans and reports to be fully processed and for normal operation to resume. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and will continue to monitor the situation closely.
