monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized
attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise
cause damage. Except for authorized law enforcement
investigations, no other attempts are made to identify
individual users or their usage habits. Raw data logs
are used for no other purposes and are scheduled for
regular destruction in accordance with State guidelines
for records management and retention.
Unauthorized attempts to upload information or change
information on this service are strictly prohibited and
may be punishable under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act
of 1986 and the National Information Infrastructure
