Frequent failures of Rackspace
The company laid off about 700 employees in July 2021 — a number then said to represent about 10 percent of its global workforce of 7,000.
Many of those had been based in San Antonio.
The changes continued last year as Rackspace kept trying to work out where it stands in the rapidly evolving cloud computing market.
In Rackspace's case, its mitigation strategy failed because an attacker — later identified as the Play ransomware group — found a way to use CVE-2022-41080 to trigger the CVE-2022-41082 RCE flaw in its environment.
Texas-based Rackspace provided the update a month after a ransomware attack disrupted access to its Hosted Exchange business, which offers cloud-based email services to 30,000 clients.
Rackspace is now blaming the attack on a relatively new ransomware gang called Play.
In December 2022 Rackspace suffered a major service outage which affected all their hosted Exchange users (customers who bought email services from Rackspace that involved instances of Microsoft Exchange hosted on Rackspace's servers).
