If you see particularly egregious examples, like the one Thomas has shared here, you may wish to share them with DPPS. There often is little them can do to track them down, but they work with federal and international law enforcement on these things and sometimes one of these contains just the clue they need to find the source. Because the volume is so high right now, I'd also suggest that anything you think should be shared with DPPS be first sent to the ATS Security Team. They can screen them for redundancy and then pass along items of interest to their security colleagues in DPPS. Thanks. - Dave Thomas P.
