So, this section helps the user to have some ideas to overcome the issue. ## Mitigation Ideas 1. Maintain a list of "endorsed" deployments (URL list) to capture any unauthorized deployment. 2. Audit all the code including smart contracts, sites regularly. 3. PEN Test run in the production environment related to NEX ## Response Plan 1. Alert message the community about the invaders. 2. Any scope to build API nodes that can blacklist specific services. ## Responder Team In order to find the solution/ to know in details about the risk that has happened, responder team is one to be communicated first. ### First Responder Team If any suspicious activities are observed, the observer can inform about it through any User forum.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://community.peerplays.com/risk-register/introduction/credential-security/nex-open-source-vulnerabilities.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
