HERPETOLOGY NOTES WEBSITE

Dear all,

Probably some of you have noticed that the Herpetology Notes website has experienced some problems in the last three weeks. The reason was a hacker attack on the web space where, among others, the SEH website, Herpetology Notes, and the World Congress of Herpetology websites are hosted. The hackers flooded all these pages with malware. Therefore both Google and our web provider blocked some of the pages and domains.

It took us some time to understand what has happened and to remove the malware, which partly was deeply emdedded in some of the html pages, but we are confident that this part of the problem has now been solved. All pages should now be clean and safe again. However, we anticipate that it will take some time before all
access restrictions will be removed.

To overcome the current problems I have created a new subdomain to allow continued access to Herpetology Notes. Please note the new web address of Herpetology Notes where the journal files are now available again:
http://www.herpetologynotes.seh-herpetology.org/



As soon as possible also the old Herpetology Notes web address will be made functional again and then will be redirecting to this new address.

Apologies for this trouble!

Miguel Vences
(Vice President SEH)
