Auto Trader announcement: 19th April 2011
From midday on Monday 18th April through to the early hours of Tuesday 19th April, the Autotrader.co.uk website was subject to a malicious third-party attack from overseas which prevented normal operational services from being delivered. Anyone visiting the site while the attack was in progress would have found that Autotrader.co.uk was either unavailable or extremely slow.
The technical support team have worked throughout the night to restore services and minimise the impact of a similar attack in the future. Some visitors may still experience difficulty accessing the site today while we resolve the remaining problems.
However, it is important to note that no customer data has been lost as a result of the attack and there are no risks to consumers visiting the site during this time.
Apologies for any inconvenience caused, we’d like to reassure all our customers that we are working very hard to resolve this.
