My Ucas has been hacked!!! :(

I had phone Ucas to find out why I couldn't log in to my Ucas track and they said it was because my application had been withdrawn. I am really upset I don't know what to do. :'(

If you phoned them then they should have been able to advise you on how to undo this. They can usually do it over the phone.

You need to phone UCAS again as soon as possible and get them to sort it out, explain that your account may have been hacked into.

I doubt they will refuse to consider you again if it clearly wasn't you that withdrew.

Ucas said they can't do anything unless the universities want me back on the system. I didn't tell anyone anything. So I don't know how they did it. :frown:

My Ucas account was hacked and they withdrew my application. The only reason I found this out was because I contacted Ucas as my account login details wasn't working. I was really upset when i found out and i don't understand why someone would do this!! :'( I want to find out who did this because it is a criminal offence to hack someone else's account as Ucas are not doing anything about can someone please help.

That is truly awful. Sorry to hear that.

If I were you I'd ring (not email but ring) to let each university aware of your situation. Send an email afterwards which gets a written version of accounts down. The point of calling them is so that they are immediately aware of your situation, unlike with emails where they can take God knows how long. Hopefully, they will be able to deal with your matter quickly. That's just my opinion, but also ask your school for advice.

Best of luck!

There must be a way to IP check the last logins?

That is awful! You should definitely contact the universities that you applied to. If you've already received offers from some of them, then it should be easier to negotiate from those who haven't gotten back to you yet.

I've got my fingers crossed for you; good luck! :smile:

The beuraucracy involved in getting meaningful information from an IP address would be too much. Plus they can't act on the fact a different IP range withdrew the application.
