Site vandalism leads to major security overhaul.

Discovered shortly after 9am this morning, Reyactive identified a problem with the Reyactive Chamber website. The problem included a change where the site was repointed to a historical copy of the site that was many months old. The newer version of the site had also been tampered with so that several of the content pages were invisible, so that when the site was reconnected to the correct content, the menu did not offer all of the correct options.

No data was ever at risk as no client or other sensitive data is ever housed in any Reyactive website, however the vandalism did cause an immediate security overhaul and upgrade as well as the repair of the site, which is ongoing at this minute. 

The individual responsible for the vandalism has been identified and their access has been terminated.

Reyactive's extensive network of social media accounts and websites are all undergoing a security audit and overhaul as a precaution, although there do not appear to be any other breaches at the moment.
