![]() | Downtime updateHi everyone, First off, apologies for my lack of activity on eXceem recently. I'm in the middle of exam season, and it's been hard to find a spare minute! Our web host last night experienced a malicious attack on an unprecedented scale, and all of our websites are down as a result. They expect to have things resolved and working in the next 36 hours or so. Very little information is being released at the moment, but we are monitoring the situation and I will post any updates as and when we have them. Hopefully everything should be back up and working again soon. Cheers |

![]() | Yep, the updates should be similar. We've redirected our DNS temporarily to allow email activity, so you won't be able to connect to any of the sites, but we'll switch them back as soon as the server is back online. Cheers |

![]() | What we're now hearing isn't as optimistic as we'd first hoped. We're currently in discussions with our web host to see how we can proceed from here, and are evaluating various options. I'll update when I have more details. Thanks for your continued patience and support. |

![]() | The information we're being given is still rather sketchy and contradictory, but the latest we've heard is that they'll be trying over the weekend to recover the most recent backup. Cheers |
