Been away for a few days…
On checking our email on Christmas day we were in a festive mood only to be informed that the version of the software we use for blogging (putting up posts) on our website had a vulnerability that had been exploited. We had no option but to immediately take the whole site down to upgrade the software (to resolve the problem) which has resulted in a busy few days re-creating the website from scratch.
Fortunately we had put together some basic contingency plans for an event such as this but it was not until we were faced in dealing with an actual problem that we realised it wasn’t the best time to find out what worked and didn’t work in our plan.
However, it is all sorted now, and we now have a new motto (borrowed) ‘be prepared’.
