[newsbot]

A data breach of computers at the University of Maine’s counseling center allowed hackers to access not only the Social Security numbers and dates of birth of students and alumni who have sought its services in the past eight years but clinical information as well. Students or former students who visited the counseling center between Aug. 8, 2002, and June 12, 2010, should assume that they are in the affected database, Vice President for Student Affairs and Dean of Students Robert Dana said at a news conference Tuesday. Sensitive medical data related to approximately 4,585 UMaine students who used services at the counseling center for nearly eight years were exposed as a result of the attacks, Dana said. The breach was discovered June 16 when staff at the counseling center had trouble accessing records, he said.
