Our investigation into the security incident is complete. Our teams, both internally and with our key security partners, have thoroughly reviewed the findings and we closed our investigation as of October 14, 2020. Consistent with the preliminary results previously shared, we found that although some information accessed without authorization included internal references to Equinix customers, the data contained no sensitive information on customer operations or other material customer information and our data centers and services to customers were not impacted by the incident.

Equinix is currently investigating a security incident we detected that involves ransomware on some of our internal systems. Our teams took immediate and decisive action to address the incident, notified law enforcement and are continuing to investigate. Our data centers and our service offerings, including managed services, remain fully operational, and the incident has not affected our ability to support our customers. Note that as most customers operate their own equipment within Equinix data centers, this incident has had no impact on their operations or the data on their equipment at Equinix. The security of the data in our systems is always a top priority and we intend to take all necessary actions, as appropriate, based on the results of our investigation.
We will update this blog post as appropriate.
