Meltdown, security issue resolved

If you are following news on the Internet, and especially if you have any interest in security matters, then probably you have heard about Meltdown. This is a security vulnerability in popular CPUs, that affects most devices on the Internet, including servers, personal computers, and smartphones. Although the technical details of the vulnerabiliy are rather long, in a summary - they allow unauthorized access to system resources and sensitive data between users, programs, and virtualization platforms.

Our servers were also among the devices that were possibly affected by Meltdown.

Over the weekend, our system administrators performed emergency software updates on our production servers, including kernel updates that fix the Meltdown vulnerability.

Security is a primary concern for us, and our customers can rest assured that we are putting 100% effort to resolve any security issues as soon as possible.
