Following up on a previous report…
An independent investigation shows no student data was compromised during a suspected breach of Lewis-Palmer School District 38‘s computer system in May, district officials said Wednesday.
“Protecting student data is a priority, and we weren’t surprised it was substantiated that no security breach occurred,” said D-38 spokeswoman Julie Stephen.
Also, Monument police will not file charges in the case. The department contacted D-38 administrators on May 27 about a report of an alleged hacking of the district’s system, said Monument Police Chief Jacob Shirk.
The investigation determined that information from three students had been obtained by someone, he said.

Something is not right. Looks like the “independent investigation” was probably someone who fiddles around with forensic information and stumbled upon his findings. It could have been a local computer shop that was called in to become the resident “experts” to assess what might have been accessed.
Logs can be altered or erased, hundreds of students grades could have been altered to make it nearly impossible to narrow down the culprit(s). Sure this probably does not merit a forensic corporation that will charge thousands to tens of thousands of dollars or more to find something, but in the end, the statements should jive.
