Abstract

A computer-implemented method, a system, and a computer program product manage a blacklist. A server computer and method communicate with a device via a relay device, the relay device being connected to the device via a wireless network, in response to a detection of an improper device, adding, into a blacklist, information on a position of the improper device or information on a position associated with a position of the improper device, and an identifier of the improper device, wherein the blacklist is used for controlling commutation from or to an improper device. The blacklist or an identifier in the blacklist of a device associated with the information on the position of the improper device is transferred to a relay device in or near the position of the improper device and/or to a relay device in or near the position associated with the position of the improper device.
