Berkeley alumni Identity Theft warning

Thanks to Andrew W for passing along this article. Short form: a thief walked into a UC Berkeley office and made off with a laptop containing the personal info - most damaging, Social Security Numbers - of Berkeley alumni and graduate students. If you fall under any of the following categories, you should call the number listed in the article:

The stolen laptop contained the Social Security numbers of UC Berkeley students who received their doctorates from 1976 through 1999, graduate students enrolled at the university between fall 1989 and fall 2003 and graduate school applicants between fall 2001 and spring 2004. Some graduate students in other years also were affected.
