SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Hackers broke into the computer system of
the University of California, San Diego, compromising confidential
information on about 380,000 students, teachers, employees, alumni
and applicants.
Investigators urged those affected to guard against identity
theft.
Hackers infiltrated four computers that stored Social
Security and driver's license numbers in the university's business
and financial services department. Investigators are unaware of any
illegal use of the data.
University officials discovered the security breach April 16
after noticing a spike in traffic on the network.
In December, more than 178,000 San Diego State University
students, alumni and employees had personal information exposed by
hackers who broke into a university computer server. The FBI and
campus police investigation found computers used for the hacking
were on the East Coast.
Last month, the San Diego Supercomputer Center, which is on
the UCSD campus, was infiltrated by a hacker, although officials
said no critical information was lost.
