The CRE website was attacked with the result that had we not pulled down the website we would have risked loosing content.

         We appreciate your many emails and we are  working to continue to install state of the art  early warning systems.  We must , however, add that we have only had two major outages in more than a decade of operation.

        We are particularly concerned that some of you could not use the website for the preparation of regulatory filings.

        We would also like to clear the record;  we receive no support from the federal government. Consequently following the laws of economics  those of you who suffered the most significant losses and who are not a supporter of CRE can address this shortcoming by sending us a contribution.
