 Welcome to All Hands Update, I'm Petty Officer Jonathan Pancall. U.S. 10th Fleet is reminding sailors of the dangers that exist within peer-to-peer or P2P software. P2P software allows users to directly link computers to one another, sharing digital movies, music and other files by circumvented security and networking protocols. Users may choose to have P2P software on their personal computers, but these programs are prohibited on all government computers. P2P applications open a door to command networks for dangerous cyber attacks and malware that may potentially disrupt our ability to safely operate our computers. When you log on to your government computer, you'll see the U.S. Department of Defense warning statement, which, if violated, can result in non-judicial punishment or worse. Familiarize yourself with the DOD's Internet Instruction for more information on computer usage policies.
