Leaseweb

The cloud and hosting provider Leaseweb suffered a security breach that impacted some “critical” systems of the company.

The problem affected a particular area of our cloud-based infrastructure, causing a small number of cloud customers to experience outage.

They have acted quickly and decisively to minimise hazards. This includes briefly turning off a few important systems that have an influence on the customer portal. Reads the notice personnel are putting a lot of effort into repairing the systems, and they anticipate that the Customer Portal will be back up in a few hours.

They have strong containment strategies in place and are working closely with a reputable cybersecurity and forensics firm to ensure that services continue to be secure and dependable.

The issue was successfully contained, security was strengthened, and no further unauthorised activity has been discovered despite the fact that their investigation is still ongoing.
