University of Maine police are investigating the breach of two UMaine 
computer servers holding the names, social security numbers, and 
clinical information of students who attended the university's 
Counseling Center from Aug. 8, 2002 to June 21 of this year.

According to a university press release, data linked to approximately 
4,585 students, four to five percent of UMaine students over that time 
period, was exposed.

Dean of Students Robert Dana said at a Tuesday news conference there was 
"no indication" that data was viewed or downloaded from the servers, but 
officials are preparing for a worst-case scenario.

find the source of these attacks."
