Rackspace: Exchange Email Outage Is a Result of Ransomware Attack

Rackspace updated their status page this morning admitting what many people had already supposed - that they are the target of a ransomware attack, which has resulted in their hosted exchange email service being down since early Friday morning:

"We appreciate your patience as we continue to work through the security issues that have affected our Hosted Exchange environment. As you know, on Friday, December 2nd, 2022, we became aware of suspicious activity and immediately took proactive measures to isolate the Hosted Exchange environment to contain the incident. We have since determined this suspicious activity was the result of a ransomware incident."
