Web site security and hackers
Unfortunately this morning we had an attack on our myclub website. (August 2021)
A break in occurred on my username which allowed a user access to the system. This was quickly detected but caused us to change the system password.
We identified the breach as a coding error that allowed the hacker to spot how to break in.
As a precaution we changed the password which caused a brief issue while the systems were updated .
The code is 8 years old and was needing re-written to enhance and make the website responsive.
We will continue to monitor the situation to ensure the server is working normally.
After 3 years we have had no further break-ins, the last attack helped identify a feature which hackers attempt to use.
