Concordia Theological Seminary

Short version: At this point we believe the MyClasses instability is resolved and everything should behave itself.   

Longer version:  The instability was caused by several threat actors conducting brute force attacks in an attempt to gain admin access over the server that MyClasses runs on.  They did not gain access to the server, and we've adjusted several pieces of our security posture to keep the attacks from continuing.  (Strong passwords are your friends!)  

Short version:  At present MyClasses seems to be locking up every few days, and our provider is looking into a solution for us.   

Longer version:  Something (and we don't yet know what) is crashing the web service on the server, and, unfortunately, preventing the automatic restart as well.  Once the server enters that state, the solution is, like many things in tech, to turn it off and back on again, which, thankfully, we can do remotely.  There's a case open with our provider to look into what's crashing the server, why and how we can prevent it going forward.  More updates as I have them.

Thanks for your patience.

MyClasses got an upgrade over the Christmas break, and we're now up and running on shiny new server hardware.  Basically everything should work just like before, only faster.
