We receive and process hundreds of incident reports and we endevour to rep sonde to all such reports in a timely manner and to resolve incident as fast as possible. However, all incidents reported to SEcurity Administration are categorized depending on the severity of the incident. This enables us to respond to the most serious incidents first. Although we take all security incidents seriously, limited resources do not allow us to investigate all incidents as soon as they are reported.
In order to assist those submitting security incident reports to us for investigation, we have come up with a classification scheme that enables us to prioritize incidents reported to us. This scheme uses three severity levels: high, medium, low.
High Severity

- DoS (Denial of Service attacks)

Medium Severity

- Distribution of copyrighted materials

- E-mail harassment

- Unauthorized use of copyrighted Materials
