Yaakov Yehudi <yehudiat_private> said >We send off emails to China every day. A few get answered from time >to time. This is consistent with complaints to other non English >speaking countries. To address the language problem in notifying admins from another country about security incidents, it might help to have a public "database" of notification emails in various languages and character sets. When you want to notify someone in another country about an incident, you look up the country in the database, then dump in the technical stuff like IP addresses, port numbers, and signatures, which are more universal than any one language :) Obviously, this won't address cases in which ISP's understand the notifications they receive and do not act, but it may help. As has been alluded to on this list, FIRST (the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams, http://www.first.org) is an international organization of incident response teams. Contacting a FIRST member may also be an option. See http://www.first.org/team-info/ for a list of teams. - Steve ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is provided by the SecurityFocus ARIS analyzer service.
