Our SMS gateway, SMS Broadcast, is reporting a technical issue leading to significant delay in the transmission of SMSs. This may affect users attempting to login using SMS as the 2nd factor in their MFA authentication.

SMS Broadcast have provided the following update... Update - We have identified an issue within the internal systems responsible for routing messages to downstream mobile network operators. Since approximately 14:30 AEST, messages within our platform have been intermittently becoming stuck in a router worker process, resulting in delays to outbound message delivery. While the issue is ongoing, small batches of queued messages are continuing to be processed and delivered approximately every few minutes. Customers may also observe duplicate message deliveries in some cases as a result of this issue. Our engineering teams are actively investigating the root cause and working to restore normal service as quickly as possible. Once the issue has been resolved, we expect queued messages to resume processing and be delivered automatically.

SMS Broadcast have provided the following update: Update - A fix has been implemented and messaging services have recovered. We have completed validation testing and confirmed message sending and delivery are functioning as expected. Our teams will continue to closely monitor platform performance to ensure stability. We are not currently observing any further issues related to this incident. Jun 26, 2026 - 03:26 AEST Monitoring - A fix has been implemented and we are monitoring the results. Jun 26, 2026 - 01:51 AEST Update - We are continuing to investigate this issue. We are actively working on restoring service through mitigation steps, including redirecting traffic to a stable alternative messaging setup. External support is also engaged and working in parallel on recovery efforts. We will provide further updates as progress is made or as new information becomes available.

As a precaution, new message submissions are currently paused while we stabilise the system. Our engineering teams are actively working to restore normal service. Further updates will follow as more information becomes available. Jun 25, 2026 - 20:36 AEST Update - Our investigation is ongoing, and we have not yet been able to definitively identify the root cause of the issue affecting outbound message delivery within the platform. To prevent further message backlog growth and reduce the risk of additional duplicate deliveries, we have implemented the following mitigation measures: Message submissions are being temporarily blocked and will return Failed responses. Message workers have been stopped to prevent further processing of impacted traffic. Queued messages are being redirected to a new queue for post-incident analysis and recovery efforts. Customers using SMPP may still be able to submit messages during this period. As a result, some message duplication may continue to occur until the incident is fully resolved. Our engineering teams remain actively engaged in identifying the root cause and restoring normal service. We will continue to provide updates as new information becomes available.

We are receiving alerts from Sendgrid that some Microsoft mail receiver servers are rate limiting are attempts to send mail to them. We have commenced a process with Microsoft to lift the rate limit being applied to us. This is only affecting non-commercial Microsoft email addresses and only affecting Microsoft email addresses(eg hotmail.com, live.com, msn.com and outlook.com). Non-commercial Microsoft mail servers are the smallest category of mail servers receiving our email traffic. Microsoft 365 mail servers are unaffected as are all other mail services(gmail etc). We estimate that this is affecting about 10% of our mail delivery sends.

We are continuing to investigate this issue.

This incident has been resolved.

Studentnet apologises for this morning’s failure to send 2nd factor authentication notifications via the Cloudwork generic authenticator app. The root cause of this incident was a failure in our system for monitoring the certifications of one of our app environment providers, in this case Apple for iOS apps. This failure then had down stream consequences that affected all users of the Cloudwork generic app regardless of environment. The details can be found below. **Root Causes** * Studentnet has a management system to maintain and monitor the status of perishable assets. These assets include: * certificates * domain names * security credentials * skill credentials * licences etc * Studentnet’s management system sends reminders to relevant personnel at 30, 14, 7 days and 1 day intervals prior to a perishable asset expiring. * The Apple play store certificate for the Cloudwork generic authenticator iOS app is such a perishable asset. It was last renewed in September 2023. * No entry for either the creation of the asset or its renewal in September 2023 was created in the Studentnet management system. * Renewal notices for the expiring certificate were not generated and sent to personnel. * The Apple play store certificate for the Cloudwork generic authenticator iOS app expired over the weekend of September 7&8, 2024. * Upon expiry, any MFA request involving an iOS device failed to generate a 2nd factor notification stopping successful login by the user. * The repeated failed iOS notification attempts backed up in the Cloudwork processing queues ultimately blocking successful sending of all notification regardless of processing environment. This meant that Android users also commenced to fail to receive notifications. **Remediation Taken** * The certificate for the Cloudwork generic authenticator app was renewed with Apple Push Notification Services * The Cloudwork instances for affected schools were redeployed to utilise the renewed certificate * An entry for the Apple play store Cloudwork iOS certificate was created in the Studentnet asset management system * All schools were inspected to ensure: 1. the expiry dates for relevant assets were accurate 2. entries for all app certificates existed in the Studentnet management system * All schools were contacted advising of redeploys * Schools were reminded that any emergency outage such as this should immediately be notified to Studentnet even over the weekend. **Safeguards Taken** * All Studentnet staff are receiving refreshed training on: * how certificates are used within app processing environments * how to create and maintain entries in the Studentnet management system * An audit of all certificates used within Studentnet will be undertaken * More stringent, and thorough, certificate management workflows are being internally documented and enforced with regular diligence inspections **Logging an out of hours support call with Studentnet** * Some schools reported issues with logging out o hours calls with Studentnet at 8am on Monday 9/9/24 * Studentnet has moved to a new phone system necessitating further adjustment in the manner in which out of hours phone calls are handled * Studentnet business hours will be adjusted to 8am to 5pm Monday to Friday

Hello IT Admins, As part of good security practice, many IT admins are upgrading their Windows networks to support TLS 1.2 and deprecating the use of TLS 1.0 and 1.1. This upgrade can affect the processing of Studentnet's Cloudwork Identity Node(CwIN) located on your school premises. Studentnet started observing CwIN operating issues yesterday(20/10/21) morning. The symptoms are that Cloudwork's on premises provisioning of accounts from your management system to your AD appears to fail to complete. Studentnet is issuing this advisory to inform you of the issue. There are a variety of solutions depending upon the upgrade status of your various Windows components. We'd like to discuss the options with you prior to implementing the most appropriate solution for your school. If you experience any difficulty with completion of your account provisioning we request you to please log a ticket on our help portal(here: support.studentnet.net) or by sending an email to [email protected]. More information on the impact of upgrading to TLS 1.2 on a Windows network is available here: Regards, The Studentnet Team PS: Remember to join our LinkedIn Group
