i went to this site accidently and without thinking logged in.

I just realised its some cheap ripoff, and now some dickhead has my password?

This has proberly been posted before has anyone had this problem.

Someone should e-mail the actual Board of Studies, because besides the actual link (with cjb.net), the pop-up and the server the pages (angelfire) are on, it looks half-authentic.

Edit: I entered a few numbers, and it just (presumably) sends the numbers somewhere and takes you to a page which doesn't exist.

 

[tactic]

I'll send off an email to the BOS.

LoL, it looks like that guys gonna steal a lot of school id's and passwords- but it is bodgy in its construction- but it will fool the majority.

btw, one thing i noticed, is that it says that its secured connection- but the lock doesn't appear on the bottom of the internet explorer....what a prank!

 

[J0n]

Haha, it even has ads at the top! :rofl:

 

[timbk2]

how are most people gonna find it but?

why on earth would the real BOS register a cjb.net domain.

 

[Static]

yeh u still use boredofstudies.cjb.net and accidently typed boardofstudies and yeh was multitasking .. and after i pushed enter i realeased str8 away. oh well.

 

[cro_angel]

well the real bos could complain to the actual cjb.net people to shut it down.. i guess
thats kinda lame though.. why would u go to such lengths to find out peoples marks?

There is a new website http://boardofstudies.cjb.net on the internet created to steal PINs for your Schools Online website https://bosho.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/links/schoolsonline.html

These websites look almost identical. Could you please do something about this because some people have already had their PINs stolen.

Thank you.

Derek Buchanan,

Taylors College, Sydney.

thanks for that. i called uac and bos and to be honest they didn't really care.

after calling 4 numbers i was told i couldn't change password over phone and even if i faxed id etc would take up to a week.

This should really be BOS's fault as well it's a partial fault for them, major organisations or companies or business's generall register their domains under numerous dns's this is to prevent any other people registering it and cuasing confusion, like microsoft themselves go through alot of legal issues with computer finatics when they have domains like www.microsoft.cjb.net, most of the populr dns's are registered and redirected to their main site to stop any form of confusion.

That's because they use a .com domain

You can always deferentiate official institutions by the .nsw.edu.au

it interest me that theres a banner for maths tut in the cjb. site..

cos if it is fake..how on earth did that tut site get advertised?

 

[santaslayer]

It is fake - this is the real one:
https://bosho.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/links/schoolsonline.html
the fake one is hosted on anglefire - the government is not THAT cheap!

btw Static, how did you discover the fake site?

good on you for your e mail!


Static said he found the site because boredofstudies, this site, also used cjb. net, and s/he accidently typed boArdofstudies


and those 2 sites look so similar! id on't know why someone would bother.


Static - how did you know your school user ID and pin? or did you just type your own?

Wow that was FAST work!
