Is it maybe a DDOS a neighbouring organisation of my employer had one last night.

:shock: Now, that's so weird. It's not just this site - but some emails that people have sent me over the weekend haven't arrived...and my text messaging service went all peculiar. Can't blame it on sunspots as I don't think there have been any recently.

Probably the Russians or Chinese or perhaps a youngster having fun hacking into stuff.

BT allegedly had issues across the whole of London with their broadband services today.
Could be wider but they're not letting on, why admit to a big issue if folk think it isn't.

National Infrastructure is rarely affected by a youngster having fun hacking g.
It will be "hacktivists", criminals or nation-state operations.

I find that every so often the system won't recognise me and I have to go through the tedious logging in procedure.
I hate anything which requires me to remember which password is used for which website. This digital age may have its advantages but it's a nightmare for people with poor memories and lots of passwords!
