    Quoting:

    "On Saturday, September 14, Doctor Web specialists recorded a targeted attack on the company's resources. The attempt to harm our infrastructure was prevented in a timely manner, and no user whose system was protected by Dr.Web was affected."

    "For the time being, in accordance with the company’s security protocol, all resources are disconnected from the network so that they can be checked. Because of this, the release of Dr.Web virus databases is temporarily suspended.
Our Dr.Web FixIt! service, its special pre-release version for Linux, is being used to diagnose and eliminate the consequences of the attack. This allows us to scan our resources more quickly.
The release of virus databases will resume shortly."

    They wrote "The release of virus databases will resume shortly".
    But I don't know what that "shortly" means. I don't see a newer news article there. I assume that they would post a newer article when they are releasing again virus databases; but whether I'm right ...?
