I would expect that web page to provide news related to
Mauritius. The FAA is the United States Federal Aviation
Administration. The information is not of directly useful to me. I
don't think that there are a lot of people in the local information
technology sector which would find the information useful. If I
wanted the news from Threatpost I would go to that web site.
It is an effort to find even a little security-related news about
Mauritius as the information is not available in Mauriitus. It is
very difficult to verify whether a local news article is accurate as
the source of the information is not available.
