Don't forget to change your password. Everybody.

Looks like that is the case. Just checked again and it has now appeared. Just need a valid membership card now. No doubt that will be updated in due course. Password changed for a super secure Apple generated one. Just as well the keychain remembers it, as I stand no chance.π

What's clever is that, having changed the password to an Apple one on my iPad, I checked the iPhone and that has also been updated to the same cryptic oneπ
well done to everyone on the recovery, definitely a hard and stressful time for all concerned....I used to be responsible for the IT component (Disaster Recovery) of the company's Business Continuity Plan...back then the potential risks were fire, flood, even war....Cyber Attacks hadn't been invented.
time for the club and its Auditors to have a long, very hard, look at its IT components and fully understand why and how this event occurred and then get some serious defences in place.
much chat on the CAMC FB page from folk who've been 'in the trade' and many have not been totally surprised by this given the (seemingly) archaic nature of the Clubs IT set up...
Lets hope we get plenty of learning from this (it could have been much worse....) and some serious desire from the top to ensure the club moves forward with modern best practice to the fore....
well done those at the coal face, a free night or two on a club site?π

Of course no one knows how good or bad or archaic the IT systems are with the club, as I posted on another thread far more 'illustrious' companies and organizations than our club have been affected, Samsung, Southend on Sea council, various law firms, hospitals, and many hundreds of UK, and thousand of global organizations, affected, including one UK based I assume had a high rating for these attacks
One observation on this; CTS appear from their website to be ISO 27001 certified.
As such this should serve as a sober reminder that whilst ISO certification does prove a business has mature cyber risk management processes in place, it is not a gold standard of impenetrability.
As to when these cyber attacks started, the first one was in 1997/98 and I recall in preparation for the millennium bug we had systems in place to counter cyber attacks even then although they were far simpler then of course.
But as others have said well done to the club and its staff for handling this very well.
