Support needed and security warning after latest attack

Huge thanks to all of those who have already donated to our fighting fund against the attackers who drove our website off-line with a sophisticated hacking attack. Thanks to your generosity we’re now just over half-way towards meeting the basic costs of getting back online. 

We’re up and running, working away and posting new stuff almost all the time, but we do need more support. Not least because the hackers really are out to get us. 

Security warning

The latest target is our busy Twitter/X account, where we have over 50,000 followers. Hackers have now taken full control of the account and we’re struggling to get any support from X. 

So if you follow us on X, please watch out for any potentially dodgy Direct Messages, malicious links, or unusual content that appears to come from us, as they may be out to disrupt our whole network.

Help us keep fighting

For the moment we’re unable to post on X but our website and email lists are fully operational, as are our accounts on Bluesky and Mastodon – so do join us there.

And please help us to continue to do the work that seems to be causing them so much annoyance, by making a donation here. 

Any donation, large or small, will be helpful and much appreciated. Regular monthly donations are particularly valued as they place us on a more secure footing. If you don’t want to use PayPal to donate, please email This email address is being protected from spambots.

Thank you so much for your continuing support!
