The FBI is investigating an attack on a Uni
versity of Kansas computer system that agents
are calling the most serious and potentially dan
gerous hacking crime in the Midwest.
A week ago, someone downloaded personal in
formation on 1,450 international students at KU.
Birth dates, Social Security numbers and pass
port information were in a database collected as
part of national security measures implemented
following the 2001 terrorist attacks.
Officials say the information could be used to
create false identities for people to covertly travel
between the United States and other countries.
"We're working as quickly as possible to find
out who did this," said FBI spokesman Jeff Lanza.
"We want to determine how sinister the hacker's
motives are."
University officials notified the Immigration
and Naturalization Service, which alerted U.S.
ports of entry by adding information from the
crime onto the immigration service computer
system.
"I thought I'd seen it all," said Mike Heston,
director of the immigration service office in Kan
sas City. "I've never heard of something at this
scale. We're concerned about this. It has fraudu
lent implications for national security."
KU officials held a news conference Thursday
afternoon at the student union to discuss the

international students
in hacking crime
Marilu Goodyear, vice provost for information
services, said officials discovered Tuesday the
records had been downloaded Jan. 17 from a com
puter in the Academic Training Center. Officials
said it was possible between 10 and 20 records
were those of nonintemational students, attribut
able to clerical coding errors.
Goodyear said there was a glitch in the
computer's security system at the time of the in
cident, which would have allowed someone with
a moderate level of computer experience to break
into it. She attributed the problem to a Microsoft
server.
She said the same hacker might have used that
same computer four previous times since Jan. 6
to distribute copyrighted movies and pornogra
phy. Lanza said it was too early to determine
whether it was the same person.
In a statement released by the university, KU
Chancellor Robert Hemenway called the crime
"a matter of grave concern."
"While no one can guarantee the absolute se
curity of electronic data, 1 am confident that we
have closed the temporary hole' in our system,
which occurred while we were enhancing our
computer security," he said.
The computer, which students were never al
lowed to access, held files for what will be an
immigration service Student and Exchange Visi
tor Information System. Starting this August in
response to the 2001 terrorist attacks, U.S. uni
versities will be required to transmit information
on international students to the immigration ser-
