One of our primary goals at PromoSimple is to provide a service that our partners can rely upon. We are passionate about ensuring that your entry forms load quickly and are always available for your users to enter. For this reason we have decided to post our up-time reports here on our blog.
During the month of March 2013 the platform encountered an unauthorized script to gain fraudulent entries which consumed significant application resources until it was blocked. Measures were put in place to block other unauthorized activity in the the future. Administrators of all campaigns that were impacted were contacted and all entries identified as fraudulent were removed from campaigns.
