For the second time in a month, The University of Maryland says someone hacked into its computer network and obtained personal information.
Chief Information Officer Ann Wylie revealed the breach Thursday in a letter to administrators and department chairs, according to The Associated Press.
The university learned of the intrusion Saturday and worked with federal and campus law enforcement agencies to limit the potential harm. One senior university official had personal information captured, the AP reported, but Wylie did not say whether other people had their data stolen.
