On the 11 January 2023 the Federal Aviation Administration closed down the entire U.S. air space due to losing Command Control of their critical Notice to Airmen (NOTAM’s) servers. This was only the second time in history the Federal Aviation Administration took such action. The atrocities of 9/11 being the first.

We assisted the Federal Aviation Administration that day by identifying the ‘issues’ for which they thanked us for in the first attachment below.

In June 2023 The University of Manchester suffered a major cyberattack that had dire consequences to numerous areas including their ties with the NHS.

The University of Manchester had fallen victim to a cyberattack when their systems were accessed by an unauthorized party and large amounts of data was compromised.

In our efforts to assist Jisc and other education facilities, we reached out to The University of Manchester Dean and Chancellor to provide demonstrable exposed and insecure Internet Assets and Servers. The response below from Patrick termed our offer to help as ‘scaremongering emails.’

It is evidently clear that The University of Manchester and Jisc DO NOT understand basic security of Internet Assets nor DNS records and servers, whilst the Federal Aviation Administration embraced and actioned our information and intelligence to prevent further chaos, even the prospect and potential loss of life
