In reference to ticket 31871 on being able to turn off the SessionShield notifications, when will this be added? I'm getting a lot of emails also but don't see the option yet to turn it off in the latest version....

The ticket you referenced was filed on October 16th and is about version 5.3.4. Since you are using the same version of the software as the ticket acknowledging the issue it stands to reason that the issue is indeed present on that version. However, version 5.3.4 is not the latest.

Version 5.4.0 was already released last week. I see that the CDN doesn't deliver the correct update information, though. Due to us releasing several components on the same day I didn't notice that the spike in uploads did not include Admin Tools updates which normally alerts me to an issue in the updates XML file delivered by the CDN. Thank you for the heads up. I'll fix that right now.

It's a matter of a few hours to a day before your site picks it up and presents it to you as an available update. You can also upgrade manually by downloading the new version and installing it on your site on top of version 5.3.4, without uninstalling Admin Tools beforehand.

After upgrading to 5.4.0 please go to Admin Tools, Web Application Firewall, Configure WAF, Logging & Reporting. In the "Do not send email notifications for these reasons" add SessionShield.
