Like many sites, ours repels thousands of attacks every day. We have been fortunate that none has succeeded in damaging the website. We are not complacent and have recently deployed a new WAF (web-application firewall); a new host; the latest version of the e-commerce software (a major update); and some bespoke code to combat one particular attacker of our e-commerce package. There is a little more to do, but we are already a safer business than we were at the start of the year.
Unfortunately, these changes have included removal of the previous customer accounts, not only for security, but also for GDPR reasons. We are sorry for any inconvenience, but hope that customers can see that the removal of their accounts is for the greater benefit of all who buy from us.
