Resolved - Summary

Between approximately 09:00 and 12:30 AEST today, customers experienced call delays and app registration failures. Service has been restored.

What happened

A botnet attack originating from a legitimate wholesale customer generated a large volume of malicious traffic, overwhelming our infrastructure — including our website, app, and handset registration services.

Resolution

We identified the source quickly but were slow to escalate and isolate the customer's traffic via our WAF and firewall rules; the surge should have been quarantined as soon as it was detected. We've since updated our automated traffic defences to prevent a recurrence.

Apology

We apologise for the disruption. If you're still experiencing push notification registration issues, please contact support and reference 22-Jul-2026.

Identified - We are aware that some customers are receiving duplicate inbound calls, where a single incoming call generates two INVITE legs to the endpoint. The second leg is presented on hold and must be manually hung up. An earlier restart of our SIP Gateway appeared to clear the issue, but it has now reoccurred. Our engineering team has identified the behaviour and is actively working on a permanent fix. We will provide a further update once the fix is deployed and validated.

Monitoring - On 17 July 2026, customers on the AU platform experienced call timeouts and failures on PSTN calls. Some also saw delayed or failed SIP device registration. Today, a brief follow-on outage occurred as the CEPH cluster completed its recovery from yesterday's incident.

Cause
A log rotation script that should have deleted transcribed voicemail messages stopped running. Messages accumulated on our shared storage layer (CEPH) until it neared capacity and began blocking writes. This starved other services sharing that storage, including the SIP proxies that set up PSTN calls.

What is CEPH?
CEPH is a distributed storage platform that unifies block, file, and object storage. It pools disks across ordinary servers into a fault-tolerant cluster: if a disk or server fails, data is recomputed and redistributed from surviving copies automatically. That resilience comes at a cost — CEPH can become a bottleneck at scale.

What we're doing about it
Since May we've been separating core voice and network services from CEPH: removing CEPH as the backing store for the voice network entirely, and upgrading from mechanical drives to server-class SSDs. That project is in its final weeks. Once complete, storage growth from voicemail or recordings will no longer be able to affect call setup or SIP services.

On a brighter note
Today I released Voice AI agents, running on our own private GPU cluster in Sydney, and our desktop client now includes a full call centre system, with video conferencing across desktop and mobile scheduled for release later this month.

Scheduled - This weekend we completed an upgrade to our core SIP gateway. While the upgrade itself was successful, we identified that one of the supporting monitoring services did not restart correctly.

Although customer services are operating normally, this monitoring service is essential for our Network Operations team to effectively monitor and diagnose any issues. To restore full operational visibility, we will be performing a brief restart of the SIP gateway during the lunchtime period when call volumes are at their lowest.

We expect the interruption to be brief and apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. This maintenance has been scheduled to minimise customer impact while ensuring the continued reliability of the SIPcity platform.

Expected impact: Brief interruption to calling services during the maintenance window.
Reason: Restoration of a critical monitoring service following a successful gateway upgrade.
Status: Scheduled Maintenance.
