LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) - A hacker broke into a computer system at
Walt Disney World last week where hundreds of guests' names, addresses
and mug shots are available, a company spokesman said Monday.
The hacker broke into a computer system used by the Leave a Legacy
exhibit at Epcot. At the exhibit, guests pay up to $38 each to have
images of themselves placed on a granite monument to commemorate the
theme park resort's millennium celebration.

A letter explaining the computer break-in was sent out to the 1,200
guests whose information may have been accessed, said Disney spokesman
Bill Warren. No other personal information, such as social security
numbers or credit card information was reached, Warren said.

"What the person was able to get access to was relatively small data,"
Warren said.

The FBI was investigating.
