Following the incidents today and from advice from our vendor, we are planning to make an emergency change this evening. The window will be 12 am-4 am, total downtime is expected to be under 30 minutes - we will confirm before the work starts and after it has been completed.

This will interrupt our services and we will provide further updates from the supplier as and when we have them. At this time all services are fully operational.
