<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk181853"><span style="font-family:Ebrima">The list has been created by users of PSI’s
<i>IP-intrusion.org</i> service for publishers, this new service helps publishers to identify the true source of intrusions while using
<i>theIPregistry.org</i> data to provide a whitelist of university library IP addresses. The block list is a list of IP addresses that have been identified as the source of spamming, phishing, hacking and other forms of cyber-crime. We are currently making
the block list available to libraries as a service to the academic research community.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk181853"><span style="font-family:Ebrima">Our objective is that
<i>IP-intrusion.org</i> will become a community liaison hub where libraries and publishers can share detailed information about intrusions so they can protect themselves from future threats. Libraries will be alerted about breaches in real time, they will investigate
the source IP and share the details, so other organisations can block cyber-attacks from the source before they even happen. This will help to protect publishers’ copyrighted content, universities’ intellectual property and researchers’ personal data and identities.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
