Service update

"As you've probably surmised, integrating the fixes and upgrades has been problematic and is still ongoing. Although it could be sooner, COYS might not be available until Monday. We are doing all that we can to recover from this attack. Our apologies for the delay.

Service Update 29/04/12

Afternoon, COYSers. Ninjaspur and Gunther worked through the night to upgrade all our board and server software. However, because we have had to install these upgrades without going through our usual testing process, although the site is up and available some of the time, there are some major perfomance problems which are causing slow response times and crashes. We hope to get to a usual service as soon as possible.

Saturday 28 April 2012

Update: The attack on our board software is significant and severe. ninjaspur and Gunther are working hard to clean up the mess. However, they will not re-open the site until they are confident that our software is completely clean. It is likely that we will need to reinstall the board software to ensure that all infections are removed. Therefore, it is possible that COYS will remain closed until Sunday. We apologise for the loss of service and thank you for your patience. COYS.

COYS Status Update

The security of the site and your own experience is a high priority for COYS.

Apologies for the inconvenience, we will get COYS back to you as soon as possible. Please check back here for updates.
