Cybersecurity researchers recently uncovered an unsecured Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) bucket containing nearly 1 million records of sensitive high school student academic information. The exposed data included GPA, ACT, SAT, and PSAT scores, unofficial transcripts, student IDs, students’ and parents’ names, email addresses, home addresses, and phone numbers – plus pictures and videos of students’ athletic achievements, messages from students to coaches, and other recruitment materials. The files are still available.
