Someone hacked this site!
« on: Jun 6 - 2008 »
Looks like someone doesn't want this website facility to remain functional  ::)

Someone managed to hack and disable the site, whilst also deleting some data - ho hum, what retards!

Anyway, the site is backed up in the US (where it is also hosted) and a mirror back-up here on cluster servers in a secret secure UK hosting facility. So any such successful attacks, only require around 2-3 minutes to completely restore all data.

Furthermore, logs of the attack are being analyzed, and we may discover the perpetrator, even if they've hid behind a chain of proxy-servers.

Bottom line - this site will remain online!  ;)
Always in support of the Samuel Smiths Brewery - although very concerned about the current company strategy towards its staff and customers, as exercised by the Directors. We believe in promoting common sense, decency, compassion, fairness and compliance with company, employment and English law.
