Well this sucks.
They specifically talk about Syncro being used more than once in attacks.
Any legit tool can be used for nefarious purposes. The purpose of this post was to say that they are increasing security measures due to the increase in activity.
Iām aware of both of those things. It doesnāt change my post. It does suck lol.
Just an update: Weāve posted an official post on our blog about this Syncro's Official Response to Recent MuddyWater News
Let me know if you have any questions,

Awesome. I was hoping that Syncro would comment and official responses to things like this are important IMO.
Hello @ian.alexander
All threads/topics are publicly accessible. Not only the Announcements section.
If the site/Syncro is down, send an sms.
This is what Azure does.
This is what my electricity company does.
This is what my ISP does.
For a MSP, a RMM is as important as the above three.
As Jimmie mentioned, if you want to track status updates you can simply subscribe to our status site.
This is one of the many reasons why I was pushing for disabling publish viewing of edit post:) just incase someone added information they didnt want to share by mistake. Glad it was fix though.
Thanks for the suggestion. Iāve done that now.
Though it is email notification only.
The utilities that consider themselves to be essential have SMS notifications.
I have raised a feature request.
SMS notification option for status page - Feature Requests - Syncro Support Community (syncromsp.com)
Put in your carrierās email to SMS address for the subscription.
@jimmie, I donāt think any mobile carriers in Australia have those features.
We would need to sign up to a paid service. Which of course is an optionā¦
However SyncroMSP already has SMS notifications baked into the platform.
Notification Center Overview - Knowledge Base / Admin and Settings - Syncro Support Community (syncromsp.com)
Therefore to me it doesnāt seem a stretch to request/expect/hope for SMS notifications from the status page.
