Update: Rackspace contacted DataBreaches to provide an FAQ on the incident that they posted as an update to their announcement of an incident. They don’t have any ETA yet for restoration but as an alternative solution for customers during this time, they are providing access to Microsoft Exchange Plan 1 licenses on Microsoft 365 until further notice.
