Reporting Security Incidents

Dealing with Online Harassment

If you are being harassed online or know of someone who is, please send an email to security@brandeis.edu with as much information as possible. Be sure to include your name, phone number, who is being harassed, and a description of the harassment.

Lost or Stolen Computer

Be sure to act quickly!

Contact LTS

LTS can track where computers are and have been on the Brandeis network. If your computer is stolen, email security@brandeis.edu as soon as possible. Be sure to include the following:

  • Your UNet account name
  • The last place you saw it (with as much detail as possible; i.e. building, room name, etc)
  • The approximate time when you saw it last
  • Your MAC address, if you know it

Contact Public Safety

The Department of Public Safety will compile a police report of your stolen computer. You should call them on their non-emergency line (x6500).

Protect Your Private Information

If programs on your computer were set up to remember certain passwords, be sure to change those passwords. If your computer had a copy of your credit card number on it, cancel the card immediately and get a new one. Also, be sure to contact LTS if your computer had University-sensitive data on it.

Breach of Confidential Personal Information

If you know of or suspect a breach of confidential personal information, please contact the Chief Information Security Officer, George Moore at x64581.

Telespam

If you receive a nuisance call (i.e. telemarketers), do not give them any of your personal information. It is recommended that you sign up for the National Do Not Call list here. Harassment or threat calls should be reported directly to campus police at x63333.
