My webhost had an outage today. this was a global problem that impacted all customers, not just LPF

just got home from work and researching now to make sure data integrity is ok

everything should be restored now. just put the site in maintenance mode to run a few tests... data integrity seems fine

this was outage across my entire webhost, not LPF specific problem or attack

take care, all, sorry for inconvenience. fortunately stuff like this rarely happens, overall my host is much more reliable than any other one i have had , and they help stop lots of attacks regularly

later on guys
i will be monitoring the site to make sure all stays ok
