Leander ISD security breach

Posted on July 15, 2009 by Dissent

Last week, Leander School District in Texas notified parents of special needs students that someone had gained accessed to the students’ information. But it’s not clear what the motive was behind the access. According to KEYE-TV:

District spokesperson Dick Ellis tells CBS 42 the district acted quickly and that there was no time lapse between learning of the breach and taking necessary steps to close off the information. The letter states the district eliminated the path used to gain unauthorized access, took steps to enhance security, and began its own investigation.

Tuesday, FBI officials told CBS 42 the FBI is working in conjunction with the Leander Police Department.

Deitz says before the cased turned into the criminal investigation that it now is, another parent had been told by district officials that only one student was targeted.
