<p>If the vulnerability were unexploited that distinction may hold.
If, as reported by 3rd parties, there is ISOC member data out
there, then clearly there was a breach. In any case, i believe
notification requirements apply, here in our jurisdiction if not
in yours. <br>

<p>ISOC HQ told us to expect more information (clarification,
details, etc.), we waited patiently as is proper. Should chapters
have done otherwise -- speak now or forever hold your peace? :) <br>

<p>Olivier, we don't need press releases or "updates". <br>
</p>
<p>At the very least, we need: <br>
</p>
<p>a) a clear, comprehensive yet concise official statement
from ISOC HQ regarding the breach. <br>
</p>
<p>b) including whether ISOC HQ has notified <b>all</b>
its global members (which would include the individual
members of chapters).</p>
<p>That above is a bare minimum. Then we will have to check
that against any obligations the chapter itself may have
under local law. And we may subsequently need further
clarification / statements from ISOC HQ. <br>

There should be something at <a href="http://isoc.org" target="_blank">isoc.org</a>, and in the news

February 4. <br>

<div>This appears a little unclear to me on two
important fronts:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><b>"have not seen"</b></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>An adversarial read of this is the rather
horrifying idea that access logging was not turned
on, so you (and MemberNet) haven't the faintest idea
whether there were any unauthorised accesses, which
would certainly allow you say that you hadn't seen
any unauthorised accesses but wouldn't mean that
there weren't any, even at a reasonable level of
confidence. Hopefully this is not the case!</div>
<br>
<div><b>"malicious access"</b></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The relevant question is not whether any accesses
could be described as malicious, but simply whether
they were unauthorised. An adversarial read of this
is that there were unauthorised accesses, but
because you don't have much information about the
unauthorised accessers you not in a position to say
that they were acting maliciously, however this
would tell us nothing about whether there had been
unauthorised access. Again, hopefully this is not
the case!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>To address both concerns, are you able to confirm
that:</div>
<div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>access logging was turned on and the logs
were successfully secured;<br>
</li>
<li>the logs appear to be complete (in this case
"appear to" is fine; the requirement is simply
that there are no unexplained gaps); and<br>
</li>
<li>all logged accesses are authorised (i.e.
because they were made by the application
server, not random external IP addresses)</li>
</ol>
?<br>
