Is it down for everyone or just me?

The outage map and region breakdown help answer this. If reports are concentrated in one area it may be regional; if hotspots appear globally it's a widespread outage. Submit your own report to help others understand the scope.

What does "never acknowledged" mean?

"Never acknowledged" means Pulsetic recorded a service disruption from user reports and its own checks, but the official status page never posted an incident for it. This is one of the core reasons teams use third-party monitoring alongside official status pages.

Customer Security Advisory: CVE-2026-98432

Started 4 days ago · Oct 30, 2026 · 6:10 PM UTC

While we continue to deploy kernel patches across our infrastructure, we have also deployed network rules that drop IPv4 packets with optional headers on public and VPC interfaces. This eliminates the immediate remote attack vector and protects our infrastructure as well as customer workloads without impacting performance or functionality, and notably is not limited to only focusing on the MPTCP exploit, but the underlying vulnerability. We continue to track upstream OS provider security releases and will make updated distributions available to customers as they are released. Customers using the Linode provided kernel are likewise advised to deploy the latest version when it becomes available as well.
