MDS-vulnerability on Intel Hypervisors

As you may have heart, recently major Intel security bugs have been found in the Intel CPUs. We will perform emergency maintenance on your service to mitigate these problems between 00:00 – 03:00 AM 16 May 2019. You can find more details regarding the vulnerabilities here.

VPS
If you have a VPS and manage this by yourself, please make sure that you have rebooted into the latest kernel version.

Kernelcare
Kernelcare is planning to release a fix this Friday (17 May 2019).

Managed VPS
If you have a managed SSD VPS from the new series (introduced late 2018), you are not affected by this. The managed SSD VPS runs on AMD hardware and therefore is unaffected.
