The current website can be accurate while the internet still presents the old institution.
Where this breaks
Former directors, assistants, contact details and entity relationships survive on abandoned subdomains, event pages and archives. Attackers use that stale authority to make requests believable.
The operating move
Inventory controlled legacy properties and high-consequence external pages. Correct, redirect or remove where possible and compensate where records must remain.
Value object — The operational card
- Old domain or page
- Stale authority claim
- Adversarial use
- Correction owner
The test
Search for the last three departed authority holders. Any official page that still legitimises them is an active control gap.
