Email/Contact Us
  • Programmatic options

    • Can we get rid of Contact Us page?
    • Send email to user to confirm before sending onwards to final target?
  • Source appears to be the Contact Us page, as it is being sent to both NCIThesaurus and NCICBIIT
    • A lot is coming from an .ru address
    • We have a captcha on that page
  • Jason discussed with Lori about possibility of dropping form.

  • Still multiple issues on Prod
    • Scott creating Jira issues as items identified

    • Something similar to Cloudstrike
