Despu\u00e9s de 48 d\u00edas de arduo trabajo por parte de nuestro equipo de IT, el 19 de diciembre reanudamos nuestras observaciones astron\u00f3micas.

La infiltraci\u00f3n afect\u00f3 sistemas de apoyo como Jira, Confluence y DNS, pero la data cient\u00edfica no fue afectada<\/strong>. El saldo fueron cerca de 400 m\u00e1quinas virtuales que tuvieron que ser reconstruidas desde cero. Un proceso de reinstalaci\u00f3n y configuraci\u00f3n de infraestructura que suele tomar cinco a\u00f1os, nuestro equipo de IT lo realiz\u00f3 en menos de tres meses.<\/p>\n
