AI Summary
On March 4, 2026, NETLOCK's document repository became unavailable due to a surge of automated requests that overwhelmed the system, leading to database corruption. The issue was detected on March 6, 2026, and normal service was restored the same day after database recovery. The incident highlighted deficiencies in the repository's infrastructure, particularly the lack of connection pooling, which contributed to the failure.
