    FYI

    Warns recovery could take several days and pledges better support after customer complaints



    Some of Rackspace's hosted Microsoft Exchange services have been taken down by what the company has described as a "security incident".

    The company's most recent incident report at the time of writing, time-stamped 01:57 Eastern Time on December 3rd, offers the following information.

    "On Friday, Dec 2, 2022, we became aware of an issue impacting our Hosted Exchange environment. We proactively powered down and disconnected the Hosted Exchange environment while we triaged to understand the extent and the severity of the impact. After further analysis, we have determined that this is a security incident."
