It doesn't say anything positive about their security team does it, that their carefully corporate-risk-policy-assessed response to exposure of internal hostnames 8 years ago (wtf were they doing that someone thought this was a useful exercise lol) is to ask that it get deleted off the interwebs. Never mind horse bolted gate shutting... the gate hinges have rusted and the gate has fallen over on this one. It would be funny if it were not quite so disturbing. -- Simon Wilson M: 0400 12 11 16

On 2022-02-15 at 06:32:52 UTC-0500 (Tue, 15 Feb 2022 11:32:52 +) Wakefield, Robin is rumored to have said: Hello, Our internal security team have detected an archived post from me dating back to August 2014 that contains some internal host information. Can this post be removed please? In short: no, it cannot. That's not a possibility, and your security team should know it. Anything posted publicly to the Internet risks the fate of being forever public, and that it most true for postings to lists like this one. This is a public mailing list. It does not have a single authoritative archive. Posted messages are distributed swiftly to hundreds of recipient addresses, some of which feed into public and private archives or subsequent modes of distribution. No one knows all or even most of the places that your formerly-internal information has been stored. The idea that an accidental disclosure can be reversed 8 years after the fact is a fantasy.

You can try to ask the owners of on-line archives and search engines. After a message is sent out to ~1 subscribers, I have no control over its content. Wietse
