Hi all,

 

One of our members experienced the following, I’m wondering if anyone has heard of something similar or what your thoughts are.

 

The Air Force contacted the member’s DNS registrar saying they had information to share about the member’s network.  This request made it to the CISO who called back.  The Air Force wanted to install a device on the member’s network to monitor traffic.  It was assumed there would be information sharing but the member did not agree to work with the Air Force.

 

Thanks,

Karl


Karl,

Thanks for posting this.  To my knowledge, CENIC has not been approached by any agency with such a request.

Also thank you for declining the "offer."  Numerous red flags are at full-mast.

John
