Abuse Handling SIG
Mission
To improve abuse handling on the Internet, by bringing together abuse teams worldwide, encouraging the exchange of experiences and developing best practices.
- Abuse is considered to be any undesired use of the Internet, such as viruses, spam, phishing or botnets the list is not restricted to messaging. The focus of the efforts will be large scale, where often dedicated abuse teams work independent of CERT teams.
Objectives
- To further these goals, the SIG will co-operate with existing initiatives, rather than duplicate efforts, where possible.
- To encourage and foster creation of Guidelines, best practices and evaluation of tools.
- To network between Abuse teams, regional, other abuse related groups.
- To develop a trusted complainers framework.
Expected/Targeted members
- Any interested FIRST team can join (not only ISPs).
- If a company has a CERT team and an abuse team, the abuse team could also join.
- Other people can be invited (approval needed).
