  • Data has been restored from a backup made on Wednesday 19.10. at 9:15 p.m. Entries and changes made to the service after that time are not in the service, and therefore users must unfortunately be asked to make the entries again.
• Mon. 24.10.2022 08:46 - Service is online, but logins are temporarily disabled.
  The Nepton service is now online and we are processing the backlog of offline events, automations, and integrations has begun. Unfortunately, logins are disabled until overall load the platform has reduced.
  • We are truly sorry for the additional inconvenience caused. Our entire organization helps our customers and their main users in data processing and in all questions related to data processing. If we can help in any situation that occurred in the service, please contact us.
• Mon. 24.10.2022 06:40 - Nepton service will soon be operational

  • The problem situation started in connection with the normal maintenance of the data center storage solution and backup equipment, and concerned the equipment. It was not malware or a data breach, so the personal information and other critical data of customers and service users has not been threatened.

  • The storage solutions in our server center are organized by the world's leading provider of data center storage solutions. According to experts, similar completely unexpected failure situations are very exceptional. The disruption was massive, and the data stored in the storage solution was lost. International team of experts immediately started working to solve the problem.

  • The service is out of order until Monday morning. During the disruption, we have worked closely with storage provider's experts to restore data.

  • Due to the exceptional nature of the disturbance, we unfortunately cannot use the last-minute saved information of the disk system or its backup points, but the services are restored from a secondary backup solution.

  • The system data will be restored from the backup that was saved on Wednesday 19.10. at 9:15 p.m. Entries and changes made to the service after this time are not in the service, and therefore users must unfortunately be asked to make the entries again.

  • We are truly sorry for the additional inconvenience caused by a reason beyond our control. Our entire organization helps our customers and their main users in data processing and in all questions related to data processing. Service can soon be used normally

• Sun. 23.10.2022 18:00 - Bringing the services up begins

  • We are starting to bring services to production. We have been working with the provider of data storage provider. Because of the unusual incident we are unable to use the data stored on the storage or it's recovery points. We will return services from secondary backups. Services are brought back online during this evening and early hours of tomorrow. We will inform about this more in later updates. 

• Sat 22.10.2022 11:24 - Actions to solve the downtime
  • Nepton service is temporarily down. We are sorry for the inconvenience and are working with our data storage solution provider to get services up again.
  • On Thursday at 15:30 storage supplier performed normal maintenance for the solution. During this maintenance the fault-tolerant storage solution alongside with it's backup devices unexpectedly stopped working. The data saved for the solution were no longer available. According to the storage supplier, this is the first time they have seen this kind of totally unexpected situation. This is a major issue. International team of specialists started to work immediately to remedy the solution. They are working on the solution at this moment.
  • To recover the services the data integrity on the data storage solution must be checked. This integrity check was launched quickly on Thursday, right after the incident happened. It is difficult to estimate the duration of the inspection, because the tool that ensures the integrity of the data does not produce accurate estimates of the remaining duration of the inspection work. We have acted based on the instructions from storage supplier and are waiting for this data integrity check to complete.
  • Fri 21.10.2022 15:10 - Recovery from data center fault continues. Working closely with vendor crisis teams, faulty hardware has been identified and replaced. We are now validating and synchronizing all data to ensure consistency and integrity. This is a slow process and it is very difficult to give  completion time estimates, but it is proceeding smoothly. Unfortunately, it is unlikely that Nepton will be available again today, but we will work around the clock until it is, and will keep you informed.
• Fri 21.10.2022 11:10 -  Recovery continues, but it is now clear that Nepton will not be available until after noon today. We apologize for this exceptional disruption and will continue to update you on all developments here. A full statement will be issued later, but we wish to assure customers that this event has not been a risk to data security or privacy.
• Fri 21.10.2022 07:10 -  Bringing Nepton online again is taking longer than expected. We are working with our data center hardware providers to resume normal operations as soon as possible. The latest estimate is that services will become available by 12:00 today.
• Thu 20.10.2022 22:22 - The issue been resolved and services are being gradually brought back online. This will take some time, but we expect services to return to normal during the night.
• Thu 20.10.2022 15:26 - We are aware of a problem and have begun investigations.
