Thanks JoAnne,
Hopefully the board will now move to a much more simpler, streamlined and up-to date website. The current one is so bloated and so much out of date it is pathetic!
Still waiting for our president to update the presidents page after how many years????
Looking at the store and the only new items for January are the President's club $4000 plus. What else is new???
Yes, I am very critical and very tired of receiving no up to date information on Fox or anyy major activities currently being done or being told it is all ITAR.
But hey, I am also very glad of being a member of AMSAT UK and their website rocks and I receive up to date info from Trevor every week via the mailing list. Thanks so much Amsat-Uk!
Stefan, VE4NSA

SB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-022.01 ANS-022 ANS Special Bulletin - AMSAT-NA Website Down
AMSAT News Service Bulletin 022.01 From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD. January 22, 2013 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-022.01
On or about 20 January 2013, AMSAT-NA's main web site www.amsat.org was compromised by an attacker, with the contents of the supporting database, including non-public information, posted on other publicly available web sites.
It is likely that the attacker gained enough access to the site to post arbitrary and possibly illegal content, so out of an abundance of caution the main site was shut down.
Neither the AMSAT store nor the Fox project web site were affected by this breach. Mail services remain operational.
The main site was developed roughly 10 years ago by a AMSAT volun- teers under a more benign Internet threat environment. The team that built that site is no longer associated with AMSAT, so work has been underway over the last several months to move to a modern, maintain- able, secure infrastructure. This recent breach will accelerate that activity. In the interim, www.amsat.org will have limited content.
[ANS thanks AMSAT's User Services Team for the above information]
