Back To School: Student Privacy and Security

Back To School: Student Privacy and Security

Ryan Brooks recently dropped an article on the site Netwrix that caught my eye with the Fall term underway in the academic community. He endeavors to highlight student data preaches including an online education site, K12.com, that exposed 7-million records for 19,000...
