Hackers have struck again at UC Berkeley computers, this time at the Graduate School of Journalism, the university announced Tuesday.
In a statement from the university’s Department of Public Affairs, the school said a hacker may have gained access to “Social Security numbers and/or dates of birth” of 493 applicants to the journalism school between September 2007, and last May.
The computer breach is the second announced by the school this year.
In May the university announced that hackers had stolen at least 160,000 medical records from university computers during attacks that lasted from Oct. 9, 2008, to April 9.
