Examples of these prohibited activities include hacking, cracking into, monitoring, interfering with, or using networks, services or systems without authorization of the owner of the network, service or system; scanning ports; conducting denial of service attacks; and distributing viruses or other harmful software.
FNTS Customers are responsible for maintaining the basic security of their own systems to prevent their use by others in a manner that violates this Policy. Examples of violations of this rule include failing to properly secure a mail server so that it can’t be used by others to distribute spam, and failing to properly secure an FTP server so that it can’t be used by others to illegally distribute software or other intellectual property. Customers are responsible for taking corrective actions on vulnerable or exploited systems to prevent continued abuse.
The FNTS IP Network may not be used to transmit materials of a threatening nature, including threats of death or physical harm, harassment, libel, and defamation.
The FNTS IP Network may not be used for the distribution of offensive materials, including obscene, pornographic, indecent, and hateful materials.
