Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
SACRAMENTO, Dec. 5 (UPI) -- California will warn 1.4 million residents this week that a hacker may have gained access to their personal information in August.
The $691,000 mailing is the state's latest effort to alert residents to an attack on a University of California-Berkeley computer, the San Jose Mercury-News reported Sunday.
In September the school said a hacker had gained entry to a system with names, addresses, birth dates and Social Security numbers.
The state provided the information to the university for a study of recipients and caregivers in a program assisting 1.4 million sick and elderly Californians in their homes. Data on 600,000 of those people was breached, the university said.
The state decided to send mailers after a telephone hotline and a Web posting about the incident drew a very small number of responses.
