JANET CSIRT runs the JISCMAIL announcement list, UK-SECURITY-ANNOUNCE for sending import, urgent and relevant announcements to all our security contacts. It’s membership is strictly defined as the set of all security contacts we have on record. This stricter rule, in contrast to our discussion list, is so that we have a conduit to disseminate sensitive information.

Due to bad house keeping, the list subscriptions and our contacts database were out of sync, and today we have attempted to fix this, removing addresses which do not appear to belong to current security contacts, and adding addresses for security contacts who do not appear to be subscribed. You may now find yourself subscribed to this list where previously you were not. If you believe this was in error, please contact us.
