An unexpected head-down day strengthening the defences of herself's website after some lowlife used it to test stolen credit card details by creating new accounts & trying to buy stuff. No real harm to the site, we think, other than potentially reputation. Must say the person from the credit card processor Helen contacted (only 2 small transactions worked) was very knowledgeable, helpful reassuring. It could have been a lot worse.
Now to see if the additional defences help.
