Hackers broke into a Maine-based computer server and exposed credit card records of more than 1,000 customers at the University of Arkansas Computer Store, school officials said Thursday.
The school discovered Tuesday the breach could affect as many as 1,007 computer store customers who made online transactions during the past four years. University officials continue to investigate and said they believe once their analysis is complete, the number of people affected will be smaller.

Update: Ah, here we go… the breach also affected U. Maine. AP reports:
At UMaine, as many as 435 credit card numbers and 1,175 social security numbers were on the server. It’s unclear whether any of the data was compromised by the hackers.
The compromised server supported only online sales of campus computer stores. The system has no connection with any other UMaine computer systems containing student or university data.
