The Reeds Spring School District releases information on a Data Breech that happened earlier this year.

In a letter sent out to people impacted by the breech, school officials state that on or around May 18 the district discovered a security incident that involved the unauthorized acquisition of school data.   

In a follow-up statement sent to Ozarks Dynacom, school officials state the district took quick action to isolate and secure the affected systems to prevent unauthorized access and have notified impacted state and students. Officials also state the district is working to restore compromised data and adding more security measures. 

The complete statement from the school district is below, courtesy of Director of Communications Ben Fisher:

Reeds Spring Schools is actively responding to a data breach. We believe a safe environment is essential and the district is committed to protecting the privacy and security of our students and staff. 

In response to this breach, Reeds Spring Schools has taken the following immediate steps: 

Containment: We have taken swift action to isolate and secure the affected systems to prevent any further unauthorized access.

Notification: We are in the process of notifying individuals impacted by the breach, including students and staff, about the incident and its potential impact on their personal information.

Data Recovery: Our team is actively working to restore any compromised data and systems to their original, secure state.

Security Enhancement: As a proactive measure, we are implementing additional, robust security measures to fortify our data protection protocols and mitigate the risk of future breaches.

We understand the concerns and inconveniences this incident may cause and encourage all affected individuals to remain vigilant and monitor their financial accounts and personal information for any signs of suspicious activity.
