SPECIAL BULLETIN – PBR has survived the Invasion!

Dear PBR Members,

Over the last 6 weeks we have been fighting an invasion on the site by phishing fraudsters who planted a number of illegal phishing virus files that kept firing off attempts to steal confidential information from a number of major sites around the world. Because of the size of the recipients of the illegal activity they put enormous pressure on our hosting company to close us down. The Hosting Service Provider kept putting us on strict deadlines to eliminate all the illegal files and when we failed to stop the phishing they closed us down – firstly for a day or so and then second time for almost a full week.

We have now found a technician who is very experienced in how to combat phishing and he is now working on PBR to ensure that the problem does not occur again. We have also moved the whole site to a new hosting site where, should this ever happen again, it is unlikely that the site will be closed down before we have fixed the problem.

So we are very sorry to all of our members who were inconvenienced during these recent closures but now that we have successfully responded to the threat and moved the site to a new place we can enter 2010 a lot more confident that we can start implementing our New Year agenda for PBR without fear of being taken by surprise by another invasion.
