Missouri teachers’ Social Security numbers at risk on state agency’s website
The Post-Dispatch discovered the vulnerability in a web application that allowed the public to search teacher certifications and credentials.
Hasnain says:
Viewing the source of a webpage is now hacking, news at 11. I’m glad the reporter did the right thing and hopefully the governor will eventually get educated here. The memes are glorious though!
“In the letter to teachers, Education Commissioner Margie Vandeven said “an individual took the records of at least three educators, unencrypted the source code from the webpage, and viewed the social security number (SSN) of those specific educators.””
