What happened

On Tuesday morning, November 10, the websites we host for printers went offline because of a security issue discovered on our server. The server was taken offline to contain the issue and protect you and your customers.

Where things stand

Our security partners believe they’ve identified how the server was accessed. The restore is under way. After it finishes, the security fixes go on and are tested before any website returns. We know you rely on your website to do your work, and bringing it back online as quickly as it can safely be done remains our top priority.

What we don’t know yet

• When service will be restored.
• Whether any data was affected. The investigation is still looking at this. If anything affects your data or needs action from you, we’ll tell you directly.
