Devoted to the Study
and Appreciation of Netsuke

Dear INS member,

Please note the INS forums are temporally closed to investigate what appears to be a DDoS hacking attempt originating from China. As soon as this attack took place a decision was taken to disable the forum by the ISP.

We are working with the ISP to understand the future implications and be assured the content is backed up and will be back online shortly. We are currently looking into solutions that will prevent such an attack taking place again.

Regards,

Alan Fisher, INS Board Liaison.
