Dear All,

Just to let you know about the recent issues in accessing the site.

Our hosts are experiencing difficulty with a DDoS (denial of service) attack on the server. Our website is totally intact. There is no virus and there has been no breach of security.

The server is simply being bombarded with fake data to the extent that it has had to be taken down. Measures are in progress to combat the attack and it will pass. We are sorry for short-term inconvenience this is causing.

Once again, we must underline there is no risk to the integrity of the system. It is simply an exercise in forcing websites to shutdown by hitting them with more data than they can cope with. Why do the spammers do it? We have simply no idea!

We thank you in advance for your patience and understanding and continued support,

Warm regards,

EW Admin
