The scheduled maintenance is now underway. We'll keep you updated on our progress.

Scheduled

A critical security vulnerability was recently disclosed in a widely used software component (PHP) that underpins several of our web services. As a precautionary measure, we are applying the vendor-supplied security update across our affected systems.

To carry this out safely, some services will be temporarily taken offline during the maintenance window listed above. Affected services may be intermittently unavailable while patching and verification are in progress.

This is a planned, precautionary action to keep our platforms secure. We will post updates here as the work progresses and confirm once all services are fully restored.

We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience.
