Hi all,
Now the dust has settled a little on this pseudo-incident can I ask if
there is going to be any kind of post-mortem or follow-up report
circulated by LCG security?
Such a post-mortem should not only address what actually happened and
how sites/ROCs/VOs responded, but should also consider what the
consequences could have been had the pseudo-incident been a genuine
attack and we had all responded in the same way...
We have a very nice opportunity here to examine exactly how the grid
responded to a potential security incident *in reality* (who needs
challenges? :-) )
cheers,
Owen.
