Users
of ITS systems have a large amount of important and sometimes
confidential data that is entrusted to ITS for storage, processing, and
retrieval. For anyone to use ITS systems and services for unauthorized
purposes, as defined in the documents governing use of these systems
and services, is at least inappropriate and a violation of University
policy, and may in certain circumstances be illegal. In addition, ITS
systems are part of an international network of computers, and
consequently must protect other sites from the misuse of our resources
to attack their systems.
