SAN DIEGO (AP) -- More than 380,000 students, alumni,
applicants and employees of University of California, San Diego were
at risk for identity theft after hackers accessed a university
server containing names, driver's license and Social Security
numbers.
There was no evidence hackers stole personal information,
but under state law the university was required to notify those
affected that security had been breached, school officials said
Thursday.
A hacker broke into four computers in the Business and
Financial Services Department and stored DVDs on one of the
computers that had been breached.
The break-in was discovered during the weekend of April 16
and UCSD began sending notification letters Wednesday.
Hackers accessed a server in March at San Diego State
University that contained the personal information of more than
178,000 students, alumni and employees.
