Reckless website

Sadly, for the 5th time this year the Reckless Gardener website has been hacked into. We are really fed up with this because we do not seem to be able to block these attacks despite careful protection management.

The website is run on a not-for-profit basis and simply for the enjoyment of other gardeners. However, every time we suffer one of these attacks we have to deal with the malicious code and then rebuild the site and check every one of thousands of pages. This takes considerable time and effort and with such a small team it is becoming daunting.

We have reluctantly decided to take the site off-line until after Christmas to give us time to consider another strategy for dealing with these increasing cyber attacks. We apologise to all our loyal followers (nearly half a million monthly) and we do hope that we will be able to resume in the new year.

The blog will continue to be updated and we will continue book reviews on the blog, so please do keep checking us out.

If we can overcome the problems and resume the site I will let everyone know via the blog.
