Rackspace rocked by ‘security incident’ that has taken out hosted Exchange services

Wait how do we know this

Kevin Beaumont has done some analysis that points to the lack of patching by RS

Rackspace has to be finished after this

Based on the following analysis,

-No real comms to customers until 24hrs in.

-work around is to use another service at a cost of thousands of pounds in human cost for some orgs.

- no timeframe to restore services.

- Exchange had known vulns that Rackspace appears not to have patched.

- no work around solution provided for hybrid exchange shops that host part of their off-prem exchange infrastructure with RS

- some reports suggest that some of their hosted exchange infrastructure was running on old versions of exchange (2010 & 2013)

On top of that it looks like UK customers with customer personal information stored in user/process mailboxes on RS Exchange will need to submit a report to ICO as they would have lost access to the personal info.

If the above is accurate who would trust Rackspace with anything?

I travel around the big smoke for most of my working day and have only found two places where the 3 tinternet connection consistenly drops, which isn't bad when I compare it to my EE phone or iFlab that when they're not displaying a PDP Authentication Errors they have full signal but slow as buggery throughput.
