ever logged into someone else's account? (1 Viewer)

[Fry]

the freakiest thing just happened to me today. while i was trying to log onto the tutorial registration, i somehow logged into someone else's account!! and they had the same subjects as me. i know this sounds devious, but i was gonna change their timetable around so that i could register for my desired times (hey im desperate) but unfortunately they hadn't register for any tutorials yet. oh well. i have shitty times now because i have a really slow connection. the system is not very secure so i hope no-one does the same thing to me.

hahaha, same, i tried to log on just then, then it appeared to have logged on to another person (disclosed for security reasons) but they do completely different units to me, THAT is so wierd, i have slow connection too Fry, but so far i havent log on to mine yet

 

[Fry]

it just happened to me again (different person) and i still cant log onto mine either. the system's stuffed up

(not that they would give a shit n e wayz, BUT THEY SHOULD !!!)

 

[theone123]

Fry, come along, lets sue PWeb, the number is 98525111

in a way it is, cos if someone knows your name and student id then they could look up your marks which are usually posted up on the website.

hey Fry, now when i log on it keep loading the same page up, how gay. "http://platformweb.uws.edu.au/signin.asp?mess=" its keeps on messing up for sure

 

[Dingo2004]

coz some mofo might change my tut times so he/she can register into the tut

yeah, ill ring em up and complain. ive been here since 9am and i cant even leave my computer for fear of getting shitty times even though it's inevitable. im not going until i fully register for all my lecs&tuts. i cant believe its about 4:30 now and i still cant log in.

OMG i finally logged in and some fucken idiot just messed around with my times. i originally registered for a tut in the arvo and now they put me on in the evening. i cant change it back cos now the class is full...fucken hell!!!

Fry are you by any chance using a shared college connection? Maybe someone connecting through the same server/proxy forgot to logout.

 

[JRasnier]

i connected from home acouple days ago, one or two days ago, and i did it from home....

My friend logged into someone elses account today when she attempted to register for tuts. Slightly worrying.

 

[lolzieee]

[Dingo2004]

security is a bit of a worry
UWS whole computer system is of a worry

nope, im just using my home comp. im still mega pissed off though. there's something wrong with the logging off thingy because ive tried to log off so many times but it didn't work. it always comes up with the 'cannot find server' page.

opps , fry i reported it to a tech support, but they say you shouldnt change the tutorials or look at their results, its slack. Its illegal to access other accounts apart from yours
