NACS makes a diligent effort to stay current on issues of network security, to make UCInet the safest infrastructure it can be, consistent with the mission of a public University. We are working with system administrators around campus to upgrade software and close security holes. Nevertheless, an informed community is perhaps our best defense against malicious network attacks.
