Computer Security Issues: Hacking unauthorized access to or use of data, systems, server or networks, including any attempt to probe, scan or test the vulnerability of a system, server or network or to breach security or authentication measures without express authorization of the owner of the system, server or network. Members of the University should not run computer programs that are associated with hacking without prior authorization. Obtaining and using such programs is not typical of normal usage and may therefore otherwise be regarded as misuse.

Use of University-owned computer equipment, including the network, for illegal activities including copying Copyright material without permission. The vast majority of files shared on P2P (peer-to-peer) networks violate copyright law because they were posted without permission of the artist or label.

  • Sending abusive e-mails or posting offensive Web pages.
  • Creation or transmission of any offensive or indecent images.
  • Giving unauthorized access to University computing resources e.g. allowing an account to be used by someone not authorized to use it.
  • Deliberately creating or spreading computer viruses or worms.
  • Unauthorized .running of applications that involve committing the University to sharing its computing resources, e.g., network bandwidth, in an uncontrolled and unlimited way.
