In recent months the Daoist Studies website has experienced attempts to hack its various databases and obtain the passwords and other personal data of its members. Although passwords are stored in an encrypted form on the database, the cryptographic methods available to an amateur programmer such as myself are weak. I feel very strongly the burden of responsiblity to protect the private data of the various contributors to the site and I have taken the Daoist Studies website offline in order to prevent the possibility of the theft of personal data. It is unlikely that I will be able to relaunch the site as I am busy with teaching, writing and other projects. I'm very sorry about this but I don't know what else to do. If you have any suggestions or comments, please do not hesitate to get in touch. Please note that this does not affect any of my other websites: |
