Subject: Security Breach on Feis America website

A hacker continues to gain illegal access to the Feis America website, causing false log-in requirements and deleting entire pages from the site in an attempt to reduce our ability to sell subscriptions and provide a resource for consumers.

There is no danger of contracting a virus on your PC, but we do not know what kind of information the hacker is attempting to collect by asking for a user name and password. Feis America will not ask you for to register or use a password to subscribe until further notice.

The host server security team is on top of this and will restore the site again, and will continue to trace back the source of the breach until the person(s) have been identified and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

In the meantime, we welcome your comments and feedback here at voy/218110 and directly at kathleen@feisamerica.com.

Thank you for your patience and support. There are thousands who have been supportive so we know we are doing something right with bringing Feis America to the world!

Kathleen
