A security researcher recently found a database exposed to the internet containing sensitive information on independent school students and faculty including financial data, salaries, professional details, health information and child abuse reports.
The unprotected database of the Southern Association of Independent Schools affected about 700,000 records and potentially nearly as many – or even more – people, said Jeremiah Fowler, security researcher and co-founder of security services firm Security Discovery, in a report released Thursday.
