Abstract
The ability to contact sites is an important step in responding to computer security incidents. It allows you to exchange information about security incidents, better understand intruder activity, become aware of potential vulnerabilities, and improve security at your site. Contacting a site may also help them become aware of a previously unknown security incident and respond appropriately. Ultimately, contacting sites to discuss security incidents helps to improve computer security for the entire Internet community.
