| Q: What is the policy on faking or spoofing an email address when sending electronic mail to someone else? |
A: Sending a forged message under someone else's NetID -- e.g.,
sending hoax messages, even if intended as a joke -- is a violation of
Yale's Information Technology
Appropriate Use Policy. Altering electronic communications to hide
your identity or impersonate another person is considered forgery. Forgery
includes using another person's identity or using an identity that's fake,
such as spiderman@dailybugle.com. Remember: All electronic mail,
network news postings, and other forms of electronic communication should
contain your name and/or NetID. For further information or specific questions please contact the ITS Information Security Office. |
