> SACRAMENTO—Educational Testing Service (ETS), a nonprofit assessment organization under contract with the California Department of Education (CDE), has begun notifying California students and families about a data security incident involving unauthorized access to and copying of student information from an ETS-operated secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) site. CDE is distributing the ETS Notice of Data Breach to help ensure affected individuals receive information about the incident and available resources. > Following discovery of the incident, ETS has taken numerous measures to enhance the security of the SFTP site, including taking the SFTP site offline and building an entirely new SFTP site with enhanced security controls. I would like to know exactly why an SFTP site and how it was compromised, and what it means to "build an entirely new SFTP site". For white hat purposes, obviously. https://www.cde.ca.gov/nr/ne/yr26/yr26rel45.asp
