Weekly Incident Report Digest
FYI: Only one item in last week's incident report was interesting for us: 'Because Wilson Library has had persistent problems with some people using someone else's identity and password to log in to authenticated computers, we have implemented a tracking system in Wilson that logs IDs (without passwords) by time and machine. No searches are recorded, no confidential data is recorded, and data is retained for four days only. ... Since the system's implementation, the Libraries were able to identify one particular account that was clearly being used simultaneously in multiple locations. The detailed log of abuse was reported to OIT, the campus authority that addresses this type of abuse, issues warnings, and decides when to close accounts. Log-in abuse reports from our Wilson security monitors have dropped off considerably since that problem account was closed. OIT is very interested in our system and has asked for a demonstration.'
