Back in 2020, I blogged about Google and apps for kids and Criminals. In 2023 This is beyond repair … another school district targeted … children with special needs targeted as well was blogged with the above article and others as we learn that schools like LAUSD, Minnesota schools, San Diego schools and others were breached.
In the lengthy article posted today through the associated press, we’re learning how bad this really is.
Here is what I can gather. First, there are no such laws to notify parents and students after a databreach at schools. Cybersecurity talent can’t compete as states and the government only give so much money and it has to be divided up among all major cities and unincorporated towns where schools are.
This can become a problem as one of the articles talks about children who are disabled having their files out there for the world to see. Been abused? Your info is out there. Your parents tried to keep it confidential, but the schools have computer files now, not paper files. I get that, but how the hell is it out on the Internet for everyone to grab?
The Internet makes it a lot easier for your people to help you, but now its at risk. With no reporting, we’re not going to be anywhere by telling our kids how sorry we are when we aren’t even notified ourselves.
Today’s article is titled Ransomware criminals are dumping kids’ private files online after school hacks and was written by three authors and was written today.
We need answers, and we need answers very soon. Our kids need answers quicker than we do, this is out of control.
Your comments are awaiting and we’ll be in touch.
The article covers the aftermath of the Minnesota case and links to other articles too.
