The following story, "1,250 e-mail accounts 'cracked' on Computer," appeared in the Oct. 17 issue of The Argonaut, the University of Idaho's student newspaper:
A password-seeking computer program named "Crack" invaded the University of Idaho computer system last week. The program searched electronic mail accounts for passwords and cracked over 1,200 of them.
Computer Services disabled the accounts affected by the Crack program, leaving many people without access to their accounts.
