Important
Notice related to cyber-rights.net accounts, 21 November, 2000:
Please note that in the
last 10 days or so, we witnessed a technical problem and during that
time, the cyber-rights.net accounts that you have created did not
work properly. While messages that you have sent through your
accounts may have reached their destination, you probably did not
receive any messages during that time from anyone. This was due to a
problem related to DNS issues and there was a problem with database
entries. The service is back to normal now. We apologize for the
inconvenience due to the server problem and please note that this
was a problem on the Cyber-Rights.Net end rather than on the Hush
system.
Please contact help@cyber-rights.org
for any further problems in the future.
