MONITORING

Let's Encrypt has resumed issuance. Due to an issue with the cross-signed certificate from our Generation X root to our new Generation Y root, all issuance has been switched back to our Generation X root certificate. This affects our "tlsserver" and "shortlived" ACME certificate profiles.

INVESTIGATING

We have been made aware of a potential incident and are shutting down all issuance.
