Hackers got access to restricted computer databases at the University of California, Berkeley, it was announced Friday, potentially compromising the health and other personal information of 160,000 students, alumni and others.
The data accessed includes Social Security numbers, dates of birth, health insurance information and some medical records dating back to 1999.
Officials said personal medical information, such as patient diagnoses, treatments and therapies, was not compromised. Also housed in the hacked databases were personal information on parents, spouses and Mills College students who used or were eligible for Berkeley's' health services.
