Reporting A Problem

My computer has been hacked or broken into.

My computer has been stolen.

My computer was stolen, lost, or broken into AND it had sensitive data on it.

If you think your computer has been compromised and you have sensitive data, report it immediately.

  1. Remove the computing system from the campus network.
  2. Conduct a local analysis of the breach to determine the number of individuals whose protected data may have been acquired.
  3. Notify the Data Proprietor if there is a reasonable belief that protected data may have been acquired.
  4. Contact the NACS Response Center at (949) 824-2222 to report that a potential security breach has occurred and request immediate notification of the NACS security staff and the Security Breach Lead Campus Authorities. Send additional information via email to security@uci.edu with a copy to security-lca@uci.edu.
