UCSF is notifying students, faculty, and staff that their personal 
information may have been accessed by an unauthorized party due to a 
possible compromise in security of a computer server. The server did not 
contain any patient names or patient information.

There is no evidence at this time that any specific information was 
accessed, according to Randy Lopez, co-chief information officer for the 
Office of Academic and Administration Information Systems.

As a precautionary measure, the University is contacting about 46,000 
individuals to alert them to look for signs of identity theft and advise 
them of steps to protect personal information. The contact list is 
comprised of students, faculty, and staff associated with UCSF or UCSF 
Medical Center over the past two years.
