ProctorU data breach
#4
(08-06-2020, 01:42 PM)jch Wrote: News has broken today that ProctorU (already my least favorite online proctoring service) has suffered a data breach: https://www.smh.com.au/national/hackers-...55j6h.html

They're the provider used by TESU and many other institutions. According to this article, only users registered in 2014 or earlier are impacted. The attackers did get access to unencrypted passwords, so it's time to change your password on ProctorU and anywhere else you used that same credential.

Yeah, my password manager alerted me to the breach, plus I got an email "Have I Been Pwned" confirming that my information was included in the breach.

Btw, HIBP is a great free service to sign up for if you aren't aware of it. If you are in a data breach, you'll usually find out from them well before you are notified by the company that your info was compromised.
Working on: Debating whether I want to pursue a doctoral program or maybe another master's degree in 2022-23
