Just to confirm that everything is back up and running as it should be now, following the hack attack earlier today.

All of the malware software has been removed and steps taken to guard against a repeat attack. A big thank you to my webmaster, Steve for all his work on it this evening!

This was an injection attack, inserting malicious software onto the site, no data was harvested. In any case, there are no payment details available to harvest from the site as all online payments are processed securely away from it.

Thanks for all your kind words, and my apologies again for the inconvenience caused by the problems today.

Glad everything is back to normal for you Wins.

Kudos to Steve for getting it sorted out so quickly! A website I once built and owned had a similar attack upon it and it was a real pain to sort out.

Kind regards,
Beth.

Glad it is all better now Wins, what a nightmare for you :bear:

I don't understand why they do these things - what do they get out of it? - that's a proper question btw, is it just to cause problems for random people? :sweat:

I'd guess some of it is done for financial gain (e.g. where data is targeted) and some for pure destructiveness, PurplePig :confused2:

There have been many previous attempted attacks on the website, I guess that is just the world we live in nowadays, unfortunately on this occasion it was successful.
