Is my network activity being tracked while I am connected to the ResNet?
Not per se. As you might expect, OTS keeps an eye out for unusual bandwidth usage or conditions that might be related to malware attacks or illegal access. When such conditions arise, we do take a closer look in an effort to understand the causes and protect other users on the ResNet. If we identify a particular computer or floor as the source of a problem, we will contact affected users with advice on resolving the problem. Occasionally, OTS receives notification from RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) concerning illegal downloading and sharing of copyrighted media files. In such cases, we take steps to identify the users involved and prevent further infringement. For additional information, see the SCS flier Keep The Beat Aboveboard.
