Waterloo Region District School Board retirees say they felt left in the dark after data compromised in cyberattack

Posted on April 29, 2023 by Dissent

Krista Simpson reports:

This is part two of a two-part series. For a timeline of cyberattack and the wide-ranging impacts it had on Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB) operations, read part one here.

In the wake of a cyberattack at the Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB) this past summer, some of the people impacted are raising questions about how it was handled.

The data accessed by hackers included details about employees dating back to 1970.

But some of those former employees say getting information about what happened, along with their risks, was difficult.

Read more at CTV.  Part One of the series makes clear how little transparency there has been on some aspects of the incident and response.
