This page will be used to provide posts of "security" advisories to our membership. As some of you might have observed of late, more and more "security" advisories or issues are coming out from various sources. We will post advisories that we believe are significant and may well impact on a number of our members. There will be the occasional really serious and important alert that we'll still push out via email to the NCVA REFLECTOR - but hopefully the email will really be just a short notification and either a URL or reference to the web page information.
