Also a part of ARNES, is SI-CERT, the Slovenian Computer Emergency Response Team. It was established in 1994 and has been led by Gorazd Božič. SI-CERT was involved in the take-down of the recordings of the Government of Slovenia's closed session recordings leaked in December 2011 on YouTube. The recordings were taken down by YouTube after the copyright-related lawsuit threat by SI-CERT.{{cite news |url=http://www.siol.net/novice/slovenija/2012/01/dostop_do_spective_so_imele_po_informacijah_kamnarjeve_tri_osebe.aspx |title=Dostop do Spective naj bi imele tri osebe |language=Slovenian |trans-title=Three Persons are Supposed to Had Access to Spectiva |newspaper=Planet Siol.net |publisher=TSmedia, medijske vsebine in storitve, d.o.o. |date=27 January 2012| archive-date=10 September 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170910223522/http://siol.net/novice/slovenija/dostop-do-spective-naj-bi-imele-tri-osebe-231526 }} It has not been involved in the investigation of the leak.{{cite news |url=http://www.dnevnik.si/novice/slovenija/1042505577 |title=Posnetki vladnih sej na portalu YouTube: Dostop naj bi imele zgolj tri osebe |language=Slovenian |trans-title=The Recordings of Government Sessions on the YouTube Portal: The Access Is Supposed to be Available to Only Three People |newspaper=Dnevnik.si |publisher=Dnevnik, d. d. |date=27 January 2012| archive-date=10 September 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170910223842/https://www.dnevnik.si/1042505577/lokalno/1042505577 }}
