A security alert on the University of Michigan-Flint campus has been issued
after someone hacked several servers, perhaps putting personal information
at risk.

It's a slow time of year on campus, but the university's computer experts,
as well as the FBI, are on the case.

The University of Michigan-Flint e-mailed students, staff and faculty a
"security alert."

The university learned of the problem December 6. Someone, "gained access
to several servers."

The university told the campus community that it's working to determine the
scope of the breach, but for now, can't say what type of information may
have been jeopardized.
