Ca: Data security breach at Campbell River high school prompts warning

Posted on June 28, 2017 by Dissent

Mike Davies reports:

The Campbell River School District has sent out a warning to parents and guardians of Timberline Secondary students that some of their personal information was left unsecured on a school server and could possibly have been “inappropriately accessed.”

District Secretary-Treasurer Kevin Patrick says the file in question contained “some student names, identification, home phone number and parent email address,” and that the file was on a server accessible to students and staff using a login code.

“The shared drive is secured from the public, but students and staff have access to it,” Patrick says, adding that once the document was discovered by the district’s IT manager to be unsecured, it was immediately removed.
