Overview

There have been a lot of data leaks of email, password, credit card information and more lately. I wanted to take a moment and remind everyone about the Internet Storm Center's and the SANS Institute's commitment to protecting private information as outlined in our ISC/DShield Privacy Policy at https://isc.sans.edu/privacy.html.

Additionally, any source information in DShield submissions as well as any other project such as the 404project are anonymised in public reports.
