When you believe that you have been the victim of a computer crime or abuse:

1. DO NOT attempt to retaliate or address the problem yourself. Responding to email or contacting the abuser may aggravate the problem for you, your computer or ASU. Some of your actions may place you or ASU at greater legal risk. Most forms of retaliation are illegal and can compromise ASU's attempts to pursue the issue.

2. Contact the Information Technology Services Help Desk (737-1482) and the ASU Public Safety office (737-1401). Information Technology Services will address the technical issues regarding the abuse. b) The campus Public Safety office is well versed in handling computer crimes and can provide advice and guidance to insure that the incident is appropriately documented and investigated in case legal action becomes necessary.

3. Do not ignore computer crime or abuse. Historically, people who engage in computer crime or abuse do not stop until some action is taken to identify and expose them.

For more information refer to ASU Computer and Network Policy or search the Georgia Code at http://www.ganet.org/services/ocode/ocgsearch.htm. Using keywords such as "computer crime" or "computer" yield good results. However, it is still best to consult with the ASU Public Safety office in regard to the legal issues of computer crime or abuse. There may also be additional or complimentary federal laws which are applicable.
