Please read this document to insure you understand the proper processes for utilizing computer hardware and software as an employee of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation. Luckily, the damage that was done was repairable. The loss of our network would be catastrophic. We have not had a formal policy until now.
Viruses can come from downloads as well as imbedded information in hardware devices.
