FBI investigating theft of data on international students


University of Kansas officials discovered Wednesday that a computer hacker downloaded personal information gathered on 1,450 of its international students.

The information was collected as part of new homeland security measures. The university alerted Immigration and Naturalization Service and FBI officials and said it was told the INS was notifying U.S. ports of entry. The FBI was starting an investigation.
