About 6,000 current and former University of South Carolina (USC) students are being warned that they are at risk of identity theft. Their confidential information was accessed by a hacker last year.
A security audit this summer determined a university computer server was accessed from outside the system in September 2005.
School spokesman Russ McKinney says the intruder could have acquired a database used by the university post office that had the names, Social Security numbers and birthdays of the students.
