I had a conversation today with two senior members of the 365 team. They have advised me that there is quicker movement and forward progress and are hopeful to provide us with a timeline for the restoration of your website(s) this week. Based on 365’s discussions with their cyber forensic partners and their current estimates, they …

365 Data Centers hasn’t published any communications during this weekend until an email just now (11:41PM ET) – they are scheduling a call for tomorrow to share information with us. I was frustrated all day because I just don’t have answers or a timeline yet. Hopefully, that gets resolved tomorrow. Until I have answers and …

I really struggled today (Saturday) as we reached the one-week mark. I know you did too. My range of emotions seems to oscillate quickly; between frustration and anger and focus and compassion. No matter what my current mood — I’m trying to steer towards focus. I’ve spoken with and texted many people today. Here are …

Going through a crisis is really rough. The inability to change a horrible situation can damper anybody’s outlook. This situation is more than horrible. As my friend Nancy says, “it sucks”. One point from last night’s email stands out to me — 365 has reiterated our data is safe and has not been accessed. I …

Thank you to everyone who contacted us today via [email protected] to update your website landing page. We learned the landing page is working to keep visitors engaged and to let the bots know the site is temporarily unavailable. I had the opportunity to speak with so many people today.

The cloud service provider, 365 Data Centers, has confirmed they have been hit by a security incident. There isn’t much in the news yet, and probably won’t be, until things are restored as I’ve heard that several government agencies are involved. Their website is also down — ironically we host that for them too. 365 …

We thought it important to not have the websites return errors to your visitors. We created a new system that will enable you to provide a branded, custom message to your website visitors during the outage. We are as concerned about SEO as you are too, so we spoke to our friends at Google and …
