Computer outage - consequences

I have checked our future bookings for 2024 ( 2 single and 1 combined sites) and they are all present and correct.

See -

Missing booking has now appeared.

Wonder if some are being re-added manually.

Anyway, mine now all sorted. 

We seem to be receiving wierd emails over the last few days. Going to check our security but can't help but wonder if there is a connection with the club's outage. Any one else experiencing similar? 

I’ve had a couple of phishing emails but not on an email address used for anything camc related. It happens.

My main email address has been in use for probably 25 years? I do get some spam but its not a major problem and it certainly has not changed since the outrage the Club suffered. If I am suspicious of an email the first thing I do is check where it has come from which is usually very different from where it is pretending to come from! It might depend on the email client you use but I find pressing the reply button (without sending) tends to identify the sender, usually from outside the UK so if the internet security has not picked it up it goes in the bin.

We have had our email a similar length of time. The majority of spam gets sent to the junk folder without any intervention from me. Only a few arrive in my in box. There doesn’t seem to have been an increase in numbers since the hack. In Junk quite a few lately supposedly from John Lewis ( you have been awarded …) click here presumably to pay postage for its delivery. Also from courier firms unable to deliver parcels and of course the Current TV licence scam. As long as they only contain my email I’m not concerned, if they start turning up with my name that would be a different matter.

Yes, “Dear Customer” is both a give away clue and a reassurance.

I’ve just set up an Etsy shop. Never seen as many phishing/spam/junk emails before. But all quite easy to spot. The often interesting wordage and spelling is another give away. Can’t say I have noticed an increase in such since Club was hacked though, only last day or so, which I attribute to joining Etsy community. Vigilance and common sense is required at all times when using online communications.

I have had about three scam emails since the outage. This is probably three times more than usual, so yes, I was wondering whether there may be a connection. One even listed all cc recipients, which is a bit of a give-away.  The one I received this afternoon was claiming that I had won a power generator, quite appropriate for a caravan owner.
