We are aware of rate limiting of email from webarch.email to Gmail and Outlook, we believe that this has been triggered by a client who's email account was compromised and then used to send a large volume of spam. Please ensure that all the devices that you use to access your email accounts are secure and that all your email passwords are strong ones. We expect the rate limiting to be lifted in time.

Our upstream bandwidth provider had put mitigations in place to prevent the NTP reflection attack from disrupting our services, we hope this this is the end of the matter, however because we still have no idea what the reason for the attack was we have no idea if there is more to come, once again we are very sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Thu, 13 Feb 2020 18:09:31 +0000 #

Sat, 08 Feb 2020 15:08:00 +0000 #

We believe that all systems are up and running now. There was a power outage for the whole area that our data centre is in and then the UPS for our rack (which is due to have replacement batteries by the end of the month) didn't manage to provide power for quite long enough to allow the backup generator to start up and therefore all our servers lost power. Once power was restored we needed to do a filesystem check on the router before decrypting and bringing up the storage array and once that was up we were able to bring up all the virtual servers, sorry that this all took a while, this is the first time in well over a decade that we have had an issue like this.

Sat, 08 Feb 2020 13:34:00 +0000 #

We hope to have all services restored by 2pm.

Restoration of all the virtual servers in Iceland is now looking hopeful, the lastest from @1984ehf: "24 hours ago we thought that nearly all VPS data was corrupt beyond repair. We have since found a way to restore disks from the VPSs. This means that we will be able to retrieve data from a lot of the VPS disks and we will help every one of our VPS customers to find their data.".

We are afraid that we have a problem with our front facing Xen servers in Sheffield and we are having to reboot them, this will result in some downtime for all our Sheffield based services.

Fri, 22 Sep 2017 10:12:02 +0100 #

The Sheffield connectivity issue this morning was caused by a problem with a router in London, we have spoken to our data centre and they have resolved the issue.

Fri, 22 Sep 2017 09:54:47 +0100 #

We should have the mailman server up and running very soon. We are afraid it is going to be a little longer for mail.webarch.net and the MKDoc server.

Sat, 16 Sep 2017 12:26:41 +0100 #

We are copying the mail.webarch.net disk, 90G done out of 275G, in one hour, at this rate we are afraid it is probably going to be down until around 3:30pm.

Sat, 16 Sep 2017 03:35:10 +0100 #

mail1.ecohost.coop is now up again.

Sat, 16 Sep 2017 03:26:27 +0100 #

The file system check on mail1.ecohost.coop is 53% complete and might take another hour or two to complete, then that server will come up again. The server that was running several CentOS servers, cat.webarchitects.co.uk, which had an uptime of 2017 days, had two RAM chips fail after the move, after removing them the server still won't boot, so we moved the disks into another server and used a rescue disk to repair the RAID 0 boot partition on all the disks. The server that the disks from cat are now running in doesn't have enough RAM to run the virtual servers, so we are now copying the partitions over the network to our FreeBDS ZFS file server and when that is completed we will start them up on xen1.webarch.net. This means that it is going to be quite a few hours before these servers are up:

• The mail.webarch.net Webarchitects mail server
• The Mailman server which hosts email-lists.org and several other domains
• Our Gitosis server
• Our MKDoc server

Sorry for the downtime.

Sat, 16 Sep 2017 01:49:04 +0100 #

The Ecohost mail1.ecohost.coop server is running a file system check and should be up soon.

Sat, 16 Sep 2017 01:18:09 +0100 #
