Thanks for visiting!

The Forth Road Bridge website is back online and is clean again.

Roger Thompson of AVG has a comprehensive techie write-up of the nature of the exploit and how it worked. We’d recommend you go read his blog entry on this alongside our own earlier blog post. He came to pretty much the same conclusions as we have, which is nice.

It would be really great to get a copy of their forensic investigation tool Web Radar. Perhaps one day they will release it to the general public or maybe allow a select few “security consultants” to be armed with a copy (hint, hint).

Thanks Roger and thanks AVG UK for helping to make today a safer place for the visitors of the FETA website. The folks over at FETA also deserve praise for their prompt actions in taking the website down and getting it back up and running safely in such a short time.

To all our readers, we recommend getting yourself a copy of LinkScanner Pro now! It could save your bacon!
