[/COLOR][/COLOR] [U] Here's a quick summary of what's been done over the past 2-3 months: [/U] [COLOR=#333333][COLOR=#333333]- Site software has been updated...and all available security updates installed.[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333][COLOR=#333333]- All member passwords will expire every 120 days...and it will be necessary to change them at that time.[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333][COLOR=#333333]- Website has been upgraded to https...SSL certificate in place (look for the little padlock icon in the browser address field).[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333][COLOR=#333333]- Website is now subscribing to a website security service...which protects, monitors, and blocks the site from all sorts of nasty stuff. [/COLOR][/COLOR][COLOR=#333333][COLOR=#333333]The main thing everyone needs to know is that Mac-Forums is a significantly safer/more secure place.
