Abstract
It is believed that a UC Davis student is the individual behind a breach that occurred at the university last month. UC Davis staff was able to trace the unauthorized access of 168 student accounts back to one of the university dorms. At this point there is no evidence that this individual did more then just log into the accounts. Campus police are still investigating this incident. According to university officials, the suspected student has moved out of the university dorms and may have withdrawn from the university.
