Pingsta Mailserver Malicious Attack - Update

Our investigation has revealed that the cause of yesterday's mailblast incident was a malicious attack on our mailserver sourced (or spoofed) from 202.71.201.178 which resolves to en201178.uac63.hknet.com. Our engineers are currently taking all necessary steps to ensure that this never happens again.

Once again, we apologize profusely to all those that were impacted by this incident and we are most grateful for the relentless support we've received from our members and ecosystem.

We've learnt a few lessons from this incident that will no doubt make us stronger and improve the Pingsta experience for all.

Sincerely,
Peter and the Pingsta team.

PS. What a way to start the new year! :-)
