A computer attack at the University of Texas at Dallas is worse than 
officials first thought. Campus officials now say Social Security numbers 
and other personal information may have been exposed for up to 35,000 
faculty, current and former students, staff and others, putting them at 
risk of identify theft.

Officials said Friday that the names and Social Security numbers of 29,000 
library card holders were possibly exposed. That group mainly includes 
students, faculty and staff, along with a few hundred people who are not 
affiliated with UTD but have used its library.

UTD officials first reported the computer attack in December and said 
6,000 people were affected.
