The Data Center is moving and we expect to be down from 2020-08-14 (Friday) to 2020-08-18 (Tuesday).  This will impact all of our services except incoming email.  Most of our data collection system will remain functional, but we will have no way of importing and reporting anything.  In fact, all reports will be suspended until we come back up.

2019-06-02 - 0820 UTC-7 - It seems that the power company "accidentally" turned off all the power to the building where our data center resides for about 20 minutes.  This of course took everything out. 

At 3:37PM PST, we had a power blip in one of our datacenters.  In those two seconds, over 1,000 systems blinked offline.  As a non-profit, we don't have all of those niceties such as hot-hot datacenters or those new fangled UPSes.  Instead, we do it the old fashioned way, which means we are susceptible to power failures within the building our core systems reside.

In any corporation there is a fine line between success and failure.  Part of that is how each one is dealt with.  We at Shadowserver are as proud of our successes as we are of our failures.  We try to be upfront when something breaks and explains what occurred.  We failed completely at that this time as well.

Whelp, there it happens again.  It seems that our filters blew up again and everyone is receiving a much larger set of data than normal.

Reporting has been fixed and all data going out in the reports again.
