Our Website
http://sheldonbrown.com/ http://harriscyclery.com/ has been down mostly since Thursday morning September 14.
According to the folks at Netcetra, who host our "virtual server" it was attacked by a criminal who hoped to steal credit card numbers, and managed to hack the passwords and enter the site. Fortunately, there were no credit card numbers on that site (we use a separate, securely encrypted site,
http://harriscyclery.net for our shopping cart system. That site uses the Verisign system and there is no reason to believe it is vulnerable.)
Our main site is being rebuilt by Netcetra, and will probably be moved to a new, more secure server.
Very sorry for the inconvenience, but repairs are proceeding as fast as they can.
Fortunately, email is still working, both my personal email: captbike (at) sheldonbrown.com and the order department at the shop: order (at) harriscyclery.net
You also can still access our online catalog at

Thanks for your patience...
