KFC shows that once again New Zealand needs a CSIRT. Well here's a start.
by Dean Pemberton 20 Oct '15

20 Oct '15

Hi All, The recent KFC incident has highlighted a lack of awareness of where to effectively report online security issues. A point made worse by New Zealand not having a CSIRT. At the NZITF we're working to create New Zealand’s first public facing Computer Security Incident Response Team (or CSIRT). Essentially, we have decided it's time to stop talking about creating a CSIRT and instead partner with like-minded companies to fund and incubate a small, agile team to prove the value that a public-facing CSIRT can bring to New Zealand. We have produced a short 1-pager about why the NZITF are setting up CSIRTnz and what we hope to achieve. http://nzitf.org.nz/pdf/NZITF-CSIRT-ValProp.pdf Feel free to get in touch (info(a)nzitf.org.nz) if you, or your organisation wants to know more about the initiative. In the mean time, while we get this all setup, any incidents sent to info(a)nzitf.org.nz will receive attention, and we'll look to provide co-ordination, albeit on a best efforts basis. Regards, Dean

Spark / GG & ICMP
by Jonathan Brewer 19 Oct '15

19 Oct '15

Hi Folks, Anyone know of NZ-based Global Gateway or Spark infrastructure that responds to ICMP ping requests globally? On or off-list reply fine. I've found hosts in AS4648 that respond to ping selectively - from some, but not all of the servers I'm using to collect data for my project on peering in the Pacific http://pacpeer.org/ Bizarre & frustrating things going on with this network. Same for AS4771. Failing that happy to take suggestions for Auckland based single-homed customers on AS4648 or AS4771 that are fibre connected with 1-2ms latency from provider core - and don't mind the occasional ping. I've got Atlas probes I can ping, but they're on the end of consumer tails & that mucks up the stats. Thanks, Jon

kfcdelivery.co.nz ongoing scam
by Nathan Ward 19 Oct '15

19 Oct '15

All, You might’ve seen ‘kfcdelivery.co <http://kfcdelivery.co/>.nz’ pop up on social media today. It’s a scam. If you have the ability to block this website so your users cannot reach it, please do so. If you have stuck your CC details in there, cancel your card. It is hosted through CloudFlare, don’t block the IPs, but perhaps you can filter on your DNS or something. I have reached out to the registrar for the domain to get it blocked (discount domains). If anyone has a contact there other than support@ to get it pulled ASAP, please use it - I don’t know anyone there. The logic of the site is roughly: <snip> # Validate input and set error if validation fails if(error){ "You must fill in the red fields" }else{ "Our servers are down due to heavy traffic, please try again later" } # send data to servers anyway </snip> -- Nathan Ward

Stats NZ ISP survey
by Jay Daley 15 Oct '15

15 Oct '15

Those of you that use the ISP survey from Stats NZ might like to know that the’ve reissued it, silently, following discovery of discrepancies between this release and previous releases for historical data. Basically they re-ran the random rounding for historical data and got different random values from before. This is now fixed and the latest spreadsheet is consistent with previous ones. http://www.stats.govt.nz/~/media/Statistics/Browse%20for%20stats/ISPSurvey/… Jay -- Jay Daley Chief Executive NZRS Ltd desk: +64 4 931 6977 mobile: +64 21 678840 linkedin: www.linkedin.com/in/jaydaley

The PC meets by conference call, weekly in frequency during the three months prior to each event. If you are interested in joining the PC and meet the above eligibility criteria, please send a brief note to "apiasec at apia.org". The note should include affiliation (if any) and contact details (including e-mail address), and a brief description of why you would make a good addition to the PC.
