SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A computer hacker accessed names and Social
Security numbers of about 1.4 million Californians after breaking into
a University of California, Berkeley, computer system in perhaps the
worst attack of its kind ever suffered by the school, officials said
on Tuesday.

"The investigation is continuing but we have no idea if the (personal)
information has been compromised," said Carlos Ramos, assistant
secretary at the California Health and Human Services Agency.

He said state agencies and the Federal Bureau of Investigation were
investigating but the hacker had not been found.
