I received a message this morning from Club Express, the company that hosts the ECA website, on the status of the issue we have been having accessing the site.

The text of there message is repeated below:

“Here's what we know: the disruption is being caused by a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack, which is essentially an attempt to overwhelm our systems with excessive traffic and make sites slower to load. This type of attack affects site availability;  it does not compromise data. Your member information, payment data, and account credentials remain fully secure.”

So, the problem is being caused by bad actors attacking the Club Express system and they do not yet have a resolution.
