A university employee called police Wednesday night after discovering someone had installed an illegal program into an e-mail server, police reports stated.

After examining the illegal program, the employee determined it was installed on Jan. 5 at 3:41 p.m., to access students' e-mail passwords.

The person responsible for the program had used a system in Ohio, the programmer discovered.

The employee traced the intruder's information and called him. The man he spoke with told the employee he could provide UAPD with "additional information" about the incident.

Police forwarded the case to detectives.
