Ca: BCIT warns medical database security breached

Posted on July 5, 2012 by Dissent

From CBC News:

BCIT [British Columbia Institute of Technology] has issued a warning to students and staff after one of its computers servers containing the personal medical records of more than 12,680 students was hacked.

The Vancouver-area post-secondary school says a regular security audit determined an unauthorized third party accessed the server used by the school’s Burnaby Student Health Services Medical Clinic.

“To date, it appears the only unauthorized activity that has taken place is the uploading and downloading of movies onto this server,” said a statement issued by the school on Thursday.
