Waco Independent School District police are investigating whether 
sensitive student and staff personal information was compromised when two 
high school seniors recently hacked into the district's computer network.

Waco ISD spokesman Dale Caffey said district police have executed a search 
warrant and seized the seniors' personal computers and electronic storage 
devices.

He said it was not known whether the district's 15,400 students' and 2,000 
employees' personal information was compromised, possibly leaving them 
vulnerable to identity theft. However, student Social Security numbers 
were on the server that was accessed by the hackers, he said.
