Dear Friends in Bhutan
I am Suman Lal Pradhan, Immediate Past President of Internet Service
Provider Association of Nepal (ISPAN).
>From last year, I am regularly participating ISPCP (Internet Service
Provider and Connectivity Provider) consitiuency meeting of ICAAN. As, I
see less participation from our region, my request is to visit
http://www.ispcp.info and apply for the membership. No cost involve in
registration and you can participate to the meeting even remotely.
ISPCP is very good platform to keep your self updated about the technical
as well as policy level development going on with ICAAN activities. More
importantly we can put our voice collectively in this platform.
I hope you will consider my request positively, and if possible lets see in
Johannesburg meeting.
With Regards,
Suman Lal Pradhan

Dear Philip,
Good to hear from you and thank you for your suggestions.Glad to know
that there are people who actually visit our website because through our
experience,it turned out to be otherwise :) We tried to email the
'btnog' list but looks like its a closed group. Anyway the BtCIRT can be
made a part of the mailing list?
Regarding the presentation at the next BhutanNOG,we regret to inform
that this year we might not be able to participate since BtCIRT
consultants will be in the country during your event and internal
training will be going on. Since its been only a year after the team's
establishment, there are also less information and statistics to present
in the forum. However, we will surely be participating in the following
year.
Thanks and regards,
BtCIRT

Hi btCIRT,
Thanks and good to know; any medium (fb or your own webpage bulletins) is
good enough as long as the information reaches the community.
It is my fault that I do not follow your fb page.
May be you could have security bulletins on your webpage since the site
might be the first one people visit to learn about newer threats.
Thanks,

Dear Sir,
Thank you so much for the information, just wanted to inform that the
team has distributed the information and alerts via its facebook
page(Bhutan Computer Incident Response Team ) to reach its audience
faster and linked to ransomware publication on its site.
Once more the team thanks you for your concern and the information.
Please do let us know if you suggest any other means to reach our public
faster.

Hi Folks,
We might want to rally Windows users (anything older than Windows 10) to
update their systems and their AV tools to make sure this ransomware does
not affect Bhutanese users (esp govt agencies who are dependent on older
windows OS).
I would have expected btCIRT to have disseminated the information within
the community; but until about a minute ago, I saw nothing on their website
:-(
There are many outlets providing lots of information about this ransomware,
but the most detailed so far has been:
