RE: NIMDA Horror

["Barry Raveendran Greene" <bgreene at cisco.com>]

Hello Brian,

My suggestion is that you create an 'afri-cert' alias. That can be used to
forward alerts and security information.

Next would be to integrate security in the AFNOG event (another day of
activity). People from the CERT/FIRST community have volunteered to work
with any African CERT/FIRST creation. I specifically know that Barbara
Fraser has volunteer in the past - just waiting to be asked.

Barry
