Security Exploit - Patch/Maintenance

Normally we do not take down any services during daytime hours however do to a potentially large security risk some services where taken offline while we patched for the exploit between 13:36 CST & 14:42.  The services will be taken down again between 01:00 & 03:00 CST tonight to update additional services for best performance. We are sorry if this cause you any inconveniences however we determined the risk with this exploit to supersede the need to wait until our nightly maintenance times.

This affected some web based interfaces on our servers. This did not affect the ability to use or send email via SMTP, POP3, IMAP services.
