SAN FRANCISCO -- UCSF recently warned 9,986 people that their personal 
information may have been compromised after desktop computers were stolen 
from the university's Family Medical Center at Lakeshore in January.

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.

information, according to UCSF officials, but the university "is 
responding with the highest level of caution and concern."
