It’s been a year since our website came back online after being hammered down by hackers. In this past year, we suffered uncountable failed attacks. As of right now, our IT security team has blocked over 167.800 attempts!
1 June, 2020
Created a subdomain for our news website at new.shiplife.org. As of right now, it is just for future development purposes.
12 May, 2020
We made a cleaner logo design and removed some old data from the website, which is loading more smoothly for most of our users. Although, loading time is still high with an average of 12 seconds per page. (Which is much better than we started at about 45 sec.)
March, 2020
We’ve created the facebook group for the future crew members of Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection. You can join us at Ritz-Carlton Crew.
December 2019
We slowly started to translate the website content to Spanish by using two translators. Also added a permanent translator job to the careers page inviting more translators in order to speed up the process.
17, June 2019
With all content being transferred from the original domain into the new website, we decided to erase all content available on the .com.br website in order to focus all our efforts on the main international page. A redirect is in place as if anyone uses the .com.br to be redirected straight to the portuguese content of this website.
30 May 2019
With the website back online we suffered dozens of attacks but due to the security measures all attempts were neutralized without bringing the website down at any moment. In less than one week we successfully blocked over 2.000 IP addresses from accessing our portal and after these events we hadn’t had any more DDoS attacks.
20 May 2019
After almost four months with the website being offline due to attacks, along with some help from our host provider we managed to bring back our portal from the brink of extinction.
February 2019
Our website suffered several DDoS attacks and went offline in an undetermined date. Along with it, we lost almost all our data and all backups got corrupted. We basically learned the importance of double backup and also invest on more security.
