This morning, we became aware that the website www.funwithhumphrey.com which is advertised on the back of various titles in the ‘Humphrey’ series by Faber author Betty G. Birney now leads to a malicious website. This website is not in any way associated with Faber or the author Betty Birney.
We are taking this matter extremely seriously, and acting, as a matter of urgency. All affected stock is now frozen. We have immediately paused on the sale and distribution of those books. We have reported the site to the National Cyber Security Centre.
We are asking people not to visit the website and to ensure that children do not visit it either. We are asking anyone who has copies of these titles to remove these books from their shelves and return them to us, until such time as they can be replaced.
