The unencrypted computers were taken from the Sloat Boulevard facility on or around Jan. 11, the university said in a written statement released last week. They contained "some personal and health information, which may have included individuals' names, dates of birth, mailing addresses, medical record numbers, health insurance ID numbers, and driver's license numbers," according to the statement.
Additionally, the Social Security numbers of 125 individuals were on the computers.
There's no evidence that anyone has tried to access or use the personal information, according to UCSF officials, but the university "is responding with the highest level of caution and concern."
