(AP) -- Using an Internet program called ``John the Ripper,'' a hacker has broken into computer accounts at universities and companies around the world to steal encrypted passwords. The FBI is investigating the case, in which 48,000 passwords were decoded from a list of 186,000. Authorities believe the hacker is operating from somewhere in Europe because the first known case involved computers at European universities. >From there, the hacker reportedly broke into accounts at a Silicon Valley company, an Internet service provider in Indiana, the University of California at Berkeley, UCLA, the California Institute of Technology, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University. ``The technology he was using is not sophisticated, but what's interesting here is the scope,'' said Doug Tygar, a computer expert at Carnegie Mellon University who will join the UC Berkeley faculty this fall. ``I'm impressed by his persistence to keep something running for that long,'' Tygar told the San Francisco Chronicle in a story published today. ``The stamina to collect this number of passwords is pretty awe-inspiring.'' The cyber intruder apparently did not seek out classified information or break into government accounts, but trotted the globe electronically for passwords in a quest for greater access. He or she gained access to the Internet through Telenordia, an Internet service provider in Sweden, and left a computer trail through England, Denmark and South Korea.
