We are currently experiencing an unprecedented site outage. Askthedentist.com has been offline since last Sunday. I want to thank our IT team for working around the clock to resolve the issue.
What happened: Our website host, BizBudding, relies on a cloud provider called 365 Data Centers. They experienced a cybersecurity incident that impacted multiple northeast data centers. That event affected both primary and backup systems, causing thousands of websites — from medical facilities to large corporations — to go offline. Details about the nature of the incident have not yet been fully disclosed by the provider.
The reassuring news is that independent cybersecurity specialists have confirmed no customer data was accessed. They have repeatedly stated that our site data remains intact, protected, encrypted, and secure.
While the website is unavailable, other platforms remain active. The podcast, YouTube channel, and Instagram are unaffected. If you’re looking for content while the site is being restored, please check out this week’s podcast episode and our YouTube channel, which contains many helpful resources.
