FBI may look into hacker case at University of Utah

Last year about this time, it was a computer hacker who gained access to personal information of about 7,000 students at Weber State University.
This week, University of Utah officials are concerned a hacker may have downloaded Social Security numbers belonging to approximately 100,000 former U. employees.
"It makes me worry a bit," said Stephen Hess, U. associate vice president for information technology. "The server was compromised. We haven't been able to determine whether they compromised a database that has Social Security numbers and people's names."
Police are involved in an ongoing investigation, and Hess said the FBI may be called upon to see if personal information had actually been downloaded.
Hess said the U. is seeking advice on what to do now from other schools around the country where this sort of thing has happened.
