AllSecure System - Open Platform Performance Alert – Incident details

After monitoring the transactions from our side, we notice that the transactions are properly processed and that the problem has been solved.

We notice that the system has started to stabilize since 15:00h CEST. Therefore, we on the our system see successfully processed transactions. We certainly continue to monitor the flow of transactions.

We apologise for the continued interruption to your service and would like to assure you that we are doing everything we can to restore services to normal without further delay. The issue, as mentioned earlier appears to lie with an issue upstream with a 3rd Party Tier 1 ISP, and our own ISP providers are working with the vendor to troubleshoot the issue. The issue seems to primarily affect Mastercard traffic but we do also see a small percentage of affected VISA traffic. From a shopper perspective, 3DS verifications are the main cause of failures as the 3DS check does not get completed and times out. A high percentage of shoppers retry their 3DS check several times, eventually leading to success.

Ours attempts to move traffic to the alternate data center have not solved the issue. The issue is visible from both our datacenters using different network providers. We have heard back from our ISP providers and they reported there is a suspected issue with Tier 1 ISP that is being utilized during the transaction flow. Ours ISP providers are reaching out to gather further information on that issue and ascertain whether that could be the route cause of this issue.

As we await insights from the ISP and the acquirer, our strategy involves a methodical assessment of impact and migration of the affected VPNs from the Primary environment to the alternate site. This move is aimed at evaluating the possibility of mitigating the impact through this transition.

Our technical teams are actively working to resolve the issue, with engineers meticulously analyzing VPN logs to pinpoint the underlying cause. Concurrently, we are conducting a thorough internal review, and our ISP partners are also examining potential sources of the problem from their end.
