A few simple things are essential for the security of any network connected to today’s hostile Internet. Up-to-date patches All software, operating systems and applications, needs regular updates to remove vulnerabilities as they are discovered. These patches should be installed as promptly as possible after they have been properly tested. Particular care needs to be paid to applications for which automatic updating is not practicable; for example, most Web-based applications. You should contact your software vendor for details of when updates are released.

First think, then react Don’t be too ready to use a button marked “report abuse” (or “this is spam”).It results in real work for a lot of people, and you must do your bit by checking that you are sure you mean what is implied by pressing the button. Don’t send it to the wrong place.In particular when an e-mail message has been delivered to a Janet address it is very rarely useful to complain to Janet CSIRT. The Computer Services or similar department in your own organisation should be able to explain what is going on.

Which IP addresses are Janet? If you can identify from routing information the Autonomous System number of the IP address concerned, Janet is AS786 and this is a clear indication that we are responsible. Otherwise, almost all Janet addresses are recorded in the RIPE Regional Internet Registry, with routes or other information linking them to Janet.
