Some web-based services used by Drake may be temporarily unavailable over the next few days while service providers perform emergency security updates related to a newly discovered vulnerability in the programming language, PHP, which powers websites and web applications around the world.
The interruptions are preventative and are being taken to protect systems and data while security updates are applied and tested. We currently have no indication that Drake data has been compromised. Service restoration times are not yet known and will vary by service provider.
