Blockchain Lab reading
Do not write the incident up until a primary notice exists. The service route is the control question, not a recap of replies.
What it does not mean
- Not a rating of any custodian.
- Not instructions for reproducing a fault.
Limits
- Screenshots without the vendor’s own post are how a false incident spreads.
