We are happy to report that all essential systems to our operations have been restored following the recent incident. JAS SmartHub is now functioning, so customers are able to track their shipments in real time. The vast majority of customers and vendors are being serviced as usual, and any backlogged requests continue to be worked through by our dedicated team. For any customers still dealing with specific issues, we are working to resolve those as quickly as possible.
While our operations have been restored, we continue to remain vigilant and closely monitor any potential risks. We are continuing to work with cybersecurity experts to finalize our investigation and further enhance the security of our systems.
We are extremely appreciative of the patience and support that our customers and vendors have provided as we have worked to resolve this issue. Given our restoration progress, at this time, we are no longer anticipating posting additional updates on this page. We will continue to work with customers directly to resolve any issues. For any specific questions that you may still have regarding this incident, please reach out to your regular JAS contacts and they will support you.

Our central operating systems and all core functions are operating as normal. With most customers and vendors doing business with JAS at the pre-incident level, we are approaching full recovery while staying vigilant, closely monitoring potential risks, and enhancing our security measures to mitigate potential future disruptions. We conducted a global password reset and have taken additional measures to enhance our cybersecurity posture.
Backlogged requests are at a manageable level, and many local-specific functionalities are safely coming back online. Our US Customs data flows are also back online, with a couple of exceptions, which are still undergoing restoration and are not critical to our operations. Customers should reach out to their regular JAS contacts with any specific questions about their shipments.
We remain fully committed to supporting our customers during this period and will continue to provide updates on this page as we have additional information to share.
