New Trier investigates teachers’ identity thefts

Posted on June 12, 2014 by Dissent

Karen Ann Cullotta reports:

The apparent identity thefts of more than 40 former and current New Trier High School employees have prompted the school district to ask local and state law enforcement authorities for help with the investigation, New Trier officials confirmed this week.

[…]

New Trier officials said they were alerted in March to the possible thefts of personal identifying information and hired an outside firm that specializes in investigating data theft, spokeswoman Nicole Dizon said.

In a letter sent to all retirees whose addresses were known, school officials said their expert “found no evidence that anyone had compromised the security, confidentiality or integrity of any New Trier databases that store the personal information of current or former employees.”

But officials and those affected are still trying to determine the source of the apparent breach and whether it involved data held by the district or by another party.
