Cargo disabled
Due to a severe security vulnerability with Cargo which has been acknowledged upstream (Wikimedia Phabricator ticket currently private), the extension has been disabled on all wikis. We deeply apologize for the inconvenience but we hope this issue is resolved soon.

While there is absolutely no indication that the security vulnerabilities discovered in Cargo were exploited on Miraheze, out of a great abundance of caution, all user sessions have been reset. This means all users were logged out and must log back in again. As a general internet safety reminder, please do not reuse passwords between services and make sure to regularly change your password to a strong, unique one.

Cloud11 and Swift issues
Due to a disk issue on cloud11 (where Swift servers are located), files are currently not displaying properly and uploads are not possible. More information will be provided when available. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 13:15, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Adding to the above, while the servers which actually hold image files are unaffected, the server that verifies that users have the proper permissions to view files and which directs traffic is down. This means that requests for images might return errors such as "Unauthorized. You do not have permission to view this file." and such. We are working to correct the issue but have no ETA at the moment for when this will be fixed. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 00:36, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Why do you even need a "server that verifies that users have the proper permissions to view files"? You guys are already cash strapped enough as it is. You don't have infinite VC money like Fandom, so you're gonna have to cut a few corners if it means better service. Attackofthecatpeople69 (talk) 20:13, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
