The infection and spread of computer viruses on campus is becoming an established reality of our environment. It is occurring more frequently and the viruses are becoming more complex and destructive. In a diverse and decentralized environment such as ours, the overall threat to the campus computing infrastructure is rising. ITS is requesting that any and all virus incidents are reported immediately upon discovery to the ITS Help Desk, for information and tracking purposes.
Virus reports of current and new virus incidents, reported through the Internet.
Post incident reports on uwo.virusnews news group. Active outbreak in the UWO community of a virus with destructive capability. Escalating response, recommended by Network Support team and approved by ITS management, depending upon perceived level of threat of the situation. Encourage other TUMS system administrators to do the same via the TUMS e-mail distribution list. Isolate a network segment or disable a network service which is actively propagating the threat.
