All Deployments: Activation SMS Delivery Issues for some Canadian phone numbers
Resolved
Incident Report - 2019/10/01
Summary
SMS messages containing activation links for Duo Mobile were not reaching users of three cellular carriers in Canada from Mid-September to October 1, 2019. This issue affected less than 900 activation messages sent after Duo developed remediations for SMS delivery in Canada following an issue in mid-September. No authentications were affected.
Details
Duo’s Support Team received notification on October 1, 2019 of issues affecting the delivery of SMS messages to Canadian phone numbers. After initial investigation, the Support team alerted Duo’s Engineering team at 8:47 p.m. EDT with confirmation that some end users were not receiving SMS messages. It was determined at At 9:24 p.m. EDT that the impact of this issue was limited to SMS messages to activate Duo Mobile for users with Canadian area codes.
Following investigation, the Engineering Team discovered that the number being used to send activation messages was being blocked by Canadian carriers. The team validated in our staging environment that using our special purpose pool of numbers for delivering SMS to Canadian phone numbers remediated the issue. Duo Engineering then began deploying the changes across production at 10:12 p.m. EDT. By 10:39 p.m. EDT, we received reports from affected customers that SMS messages were being delivered. The deployment to all customers was complete by 1:33 a.m. EDT. Following the solution’s deployment, we monitored the delivery of messages and confirmed the service was restored.
The special purpose pool of phone numbers for sending SMS messages to Canadian phone numbers will be used for both authentication and activation messages going forward.
