The University of California at San Francisco is alerting 9,986 individuals potentially affected by a burglary involving unencrypted desktop computers that contained some personal and health information. UCSF maintains there is no evidence that there has been any attempted access or attempted use of the information involved in this incident.

UCSF began a technical analysis to identify what information was on the computers, which revealed that the computers 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. Social Security numbers were also involved for 125 individuals.
