FBI Website to Aid UCLA Hacker Probe

Rebecca Trounson writes in The Los Angeles Times:

The FBI on Friday asked those who have learned that their names are in a recently compromised UCLA database — and who have reason to believe they may be victims of identity theft — to contact a special FBI website to submit a report.

UCLA announced this week that hackers had gained access to a central database containing information on about 800,000 people, including current and former students, faculty and staff members. Others potentially affected include some student applicants and some parents of students or applicants who filed paperwork for financial aid.
