Recently, there have been a few instances where Premium’s website was attacked by ‘counter-bots’. These little pests were designed to run a counter that allowed link-submitting websites to counts hits on our site towards their own hits-for-pay totals. Because similar programs have been involved with security issues in the past, this triggered Google’s Threat-blocker as well as a few other similar programs/registries.
All of the threats to Premium’s website are routinely dealt with within moments of their introduction. The registries/blockers, however, are often monitored by agencies with too few operators overseeing too many events. It can take from an hour to almost a day for someone on their staffs to verify the fix and remove the threat from their database. That’s why there have been several periods of those threat messages popping up. It is completely safe to visit Premium Aquatics.com.
Premium Aquatics’ customer database is not, and has never been, under attack from any source. We ensure that our ordering system operates only under secure connections, and that we protect our customers’ information in all circumstances. It is completely safe to buy from Premium Aquatics.
We’ll continue to diligently monitor our site and our permanent links for threats, and deal with them swiftly. Please know that if there is ever a real threat to our customers from an attack, we will be the first to inform anyone who could be affected. Premium Aquatics is committed to providing safe, secure online service to all of our customers worldwide. We’d like to thank you all for being so understanding and supportive during this little hiccup.
