A hacker broke into a University of Missouri system computer server last
month and might have gained access to personal information, including
Social Security numbers, of 1,220 researchers on four campuses.

The passwords used for the system by more than 2,500 people might have been
compromised as well. The university has sent e-mails and registered letters
to everyone affected.

The compromised computer is the university’s Research Board Grant
Application System. Technicians have not identified the hacker, but an
internal inquiry is under way to find the culprit’s "footprints."
