As posted on the tech update thread just now here's the latest re the attacks on Mumsnet.
I'm pleased to say that all was reasonably quiet at the weekend so happily very little has changed since the end of last week. We've no evidence of further attacks on Mumsnet, or indeed further swatting attacks.
As you know we patched the hole used to access user login details in the middle of last week and forced a password update. The site is currently undergoing stress testing via an external security firm which should be completed this week. Meanwhile, the tech team are reviewing every bit of code to make sure it's as robust as can be.
Obviously we can't be complacent though - please do report anything that looks at all dodgy, and we'll investigate straight away.
I know some users are still awaiting for replies to mails you sent us last week. Thanks so much for your patience, if that applies to you - we're very much hoping to get through the backlog in the next couple of days. For those with new queries it's worth checking our FAQs page before mailing in case your question's answered there (we'll keep it updated).
The police are taking these attacks seriously and are conducting a full investigation. We will, of course, update you with any news on that front as soon as we have any.
Once again, many thanks for you support and virtual (and in one case, actual
) provision of gin and many apologies, again, for any undue stress/ anxiety caused.
