Responsible Disclosure Policy

AMS-IX considers the security of our infrastructure a top priority. Although we try to do our best to mitigate vulnerabilities, they may still occur in our systems, especially in dynamic environments such as ours.

If you discover a vulnerability, let us know about it so we can take the necessary steps to address the issue as quickly as possible. Please help us better protect our clients and infrastructure.

It would be greatly appreciated if you:

Emailed your findings to ir@ams-ix.net. Please encrypt your findings using our PGP key (see below or download here) to prevent this critical information from falling into the wrong hands.
Do not take advantage of the vulnerability or problem you have discovered, for example by downloading more data than necessary to demonstrate the vulnerability or by deleting or modifying other people's data.
Do not reveal the problem to others until it has been resolved.
Do not use attacks on physical security, social engineering, distributed denial of service, spam or applications of third parties, and
Do provide sufficient information to reproduce the problem, so we will be able to resolve it as quickly as possible. Usually, the IP address or the URL of the affected system and a description of the vulnerability will be sufficient, but complex vulnerabilities may require further explanation.

Responsible disclosure should focus on issues of:

Breaches of Privacy of our customers, suppliers and/or staff in any meaningful way (example: gaining unauthorised access to customer email addresses pointing to people).
Breaches of Confidentiality or Integrity of our customer, supplier and/or staff data in any meaningful way (example: obtaining valid AMS-IX staff credentials).
Disrupting the Availability of AMS-IX services or processes, in any meaningful way (example: Software or Hardware exploits which can be provably used against our infrastructure).

We commit to:

Respond to your report within 3 business days with our evaluation of the report and an expected resolution date.
If you have followed the instructions above, we will not take any legal action against you in regards to the report.
We will handle your report with strict confidentiality, and we will not pass on your personal details to third parties without your permission.
We will keep you informed of the progress towards resolving the problem.
In the public information concerning the problem reported, we will give proper attribution (unless otherwise desired).
As a token of our gratitude for your assistance, we may offer a small monetary reward for every verifiable report of a security problem that was not yet known to us and which meets the conditions described in this policy. The amount of the reward will be determined based on the severity of the issue, and the quality of the report, and will only be transferred via Paypal. No other forms of payment are supported. Lastly, note that only the first person/entity reporting an issue may be eligible for such a reward.

---

We strive to resolve all problems as quickly as possible, and we would like to play an active role in the ultimate publication on the problem after it is resolved.

Note: This policy is currently on version 37, published on Tuesday, August 13 2019, and may be amended in the future.
