NY: Florida School District reports security breach after students share class schedules online

Posted on September 3, 2014 by Dissent

News12 reports:

The Florida School District reported a student security breach Wednesday after some students posted copies of their official class schedules online.

When students at the S.S. Seward Institute received their schedules over the weekend, school officials say some of them shared the schedules online. In addition to classes, the paperwork also had student ID numbers, along with their computer IDs and passwords.

So this was a self-inflicted privacy/security breach by students and not the district’s breach, although hopefully, they’ll reissue ID numbers and passwords.

And yes, this is a teachable moment.
