Your individual computers and devices are not at risk and the site hasn't actually been hacked - just slowed down. You may see the browser check screen from time to time as your IP is verified.

If you are having trouble staying logged in please tick the 'remember me' box on the login screen, Mobile users may need to clear their devices cache (usually cycle off and then on).

We appreciate your understanding as we get work through this.

Understood. So this is legit and we should muscle through it? I'm fine with that if that's what's meant.
