The University of Michigan has notified 5,500 current and former students
that a hacker gained access to personal information on two School of
Education databases.

University technology administrators noticed suspicious activity on a
server on July 3 and the letters went out July 16.

Kelly Cunningham, a university spokeswoman, said Saturday that the
databases contained no financial information, such as credit card numbers,
nor did they contain students’ grades. The databases, however, did have
names, addresses, some Social Security numbers and some birth dates, and in
some cases, the school districts where former students were teaching.
