FBI Advises Victims of UCLA Computer Intrusion to Report Fraud to the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center On December 12, 2006, UCLA alerted approximately 800,000 individuals that their names and certain personal information contained in a restricted database had been illegally accessed by a sophisticated computer hacker. This database contained certain personal information, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth and home addresses, regarding current and some former UCLA students, faculty and staff, some student applicants and some parents of students or applicants who had applied for financial aid. The FBI has initiated an investigation into the illegal access of the computer network at UCLA to determine those responsible, the extent of the computer intrusion and potential related criminal activity. The FBI is urging anyone who was notified by UCLA that their information has been compromised and who believe they may have been victimized further by identity theft or by other fraudulent means to contact the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center and submit an online report. Individuals submitting reports should clearly indicate the nature of their affiliation with UCLA including their department, major, position, the month and year of their initial affiliation with UCLA and, if applicable, the date that affiliation ended. The reports should also include information as to whether or not the complainant has had his/her identity stolen or has been the victim of other identity-related fraud since June 2005. All reports submitted will be analyzed and follow-up action taken where appropriate. The above reports should be submitted to the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center at: www.ic3.gov. UCLA will also place a link to the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center at www.ic3.gov on the website they have set up in connection with this matter.
