Identified
As you have probably seen in the news their is a CPU bug that is affecting basically any modern device from cell phones to computers or anything with a CPU from Intel, AMD, and ARM. Known as Meltdown and Spectre it has been claimed to be one of the worst exploits ever found. Due to the serious nature of this bug we are patching all GearHost equipment. While we hope to have as little downtime as possible you will most likely see small outages for the next 24 hours. We will update you when this has been completed.
Please note that we are only updating GearHost equipment and customers that have purchased Managed Updates from GearHost. If you do not have this purchased you are responsible for updating your own CloudServer instances.
