Information & Technologv - Mr. Marrie asked Chief Mohr to mention what occurred recently. Sometimes as mentioned by the Mayor, when we do things in the Village we do them right or pretty well we don't do them at all. A lot of times people wonder why we maybe overkill. Chief M[ohr can advise of a situation where if we did not do this right, which might have cost a little bit more money, the Village could have been in some serious trouble. Chief Mohr reported on the fact that the computer world was attacked recently with a horrible virus. We use a corporate software that protects our entire community. All buildings are connected via a fiber optic , nPtwork. We have a file server that is new from last year. All computers are connected. The computer sent a notice stating that we were attacked by two worms. In doing research on that, had that gotten through our fire wall which fortunately Council approved last year, we would have blown up the entire system and just thrown everything away because it was the type of worm that just attacks everyone's hard drives. It did its job.
