A quick note, particularly to our website customers, on the recent news (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cxnv025d8qpmo) about some security problems affecting websites worldwide.
Our hosting provider put protections in place across their servers even before the official fixes were released, meaning our websites were protected at the most vulnerable time. Just days later a second worldwide issue turned up and, again they dealt with it behind the scenes straight away.
In addition, we have checked each website we look after, and have applied updates, and tested each site to make sure it all works as it should. We have also worked on some older sites which were previously not compatible with later versions of PHP (the type of code that became vulnerable) to make them compatible.
Everything is now running smoothly and we just wanted to reassure you that your site is being protected and we are keeping an eye on it for you.
If you ever notice something unusual or have a question about your website, or if you'd like us to look after one for you, please get in touch.
All the best,
Sarah & Adele
