University of California, Berkeley officials say hackers have infiltrated restricted computer databases, and are notifying 160,000 current and former students, alumni and others whose personal information may have been stolen.
The university says social security numbers, health insurance information and non-treatment medical records dating back to 1999 were stolen.
The databases also included personal information of parents and spouses who used the school’s health services, and Mills College students who used Berkeley’s health services.
Officials say personal medical records — including patient diagnoses, treatments and therapies — were not compromised.
The server breach occurred on Oct. 6, 2008 and lasted until April 9.
