Posted on January 21, 2024 by Dissent

Claire Harrison reports:

A Coventry school has been reprimanded for data breaches after its IT system was ‘hacked three times’. In doing so, the Information Commissioners Office has said that Finham Park Multi Academy Trust did not have adequate account lockout or password policies in place..

The ICO said, in a report, that an unauthorised third party utilised compromised credentials to access and encrypt Finham Park’s systems. It listed that, in total, 1,843 UK Data Subjects were affected by the incident, and the ICO’s investigation found Finham Park did not have adequate account lockout or password policies in place.
