Abstract
A recent computer virus investigation at UC Berkeley uncovered unauthorized access within Berkeley's Cal 1 Card (C1C). Stored on the C1C computer were archived spreadsheets containing student information including names and Social Security numbers. A thorough investigation into this incident reveled no evidence that the unknown intruder accessed these spreadsheets. However, UC Berkeley is alerting 1,200 current and former students about the incident and urging them to closely monitor their credit.
