**Impact and Incident Resolution Report** Dear Yousign users, On December 4th, 2025 at 12:09 CET, our services experienced delays in signatures. The resolution required a hardware intervention at 12:46 CET which led to service unavailability. With the end of the intervention, all services were fully restored at 12:57 CET and delay returned to normal at 13:10 CET. Below is a detailed explanation of the events and the actions being taken. ## Summary of the incident A network malfunction occurred on one of the components of our load balancing layer, responsible for directing incoming traffic to our application services. The load balancer entered again in a faulty state. During this period, Yousign applications and API were still available but delaying signatures \(including eSeal\). After investigation, the engineering team had to perform hardware intervention on the faulty equipment in order to restore nominal state. In the mean time, all services were unreachable between 12:46 CET and 12:57 CET. The engineering team had to reload all network configuration. All application services were restored at 12:57 CET. Delay was totally absorbed at 13:10 CET. It is important to known that the failing load balancer is the same one as in recent incidents. ## Root Cause A hardware failure on a load balancing component within our datacenter. ## Next Actions An exceptional maintenance is already planned on Monday December 8th for this equipment. The maintenance is a cornerstone towards increase resilience of all Yousign services. We sincerely apologize for the impact this incident may have had on your operations. Thank you for your understanding and continued trust in Yousign.
