Data breach exposes school safety app used by Mid-Missouri schools

Breach Discovered in School Safety App: Thousands of Documents Accessed

A recent breach in the popular school safety application, Raptor Technologies, has compromised thousands of sensitive documents. Cybersecurity researcher Jerimiah Fowler uncovered the flaw on December 20 and promptly notified the company. Raptor Technologies’ smartphone application, Raptor Alert, is an essential tool in improving responses during emergencies such as school shootings. The breach involved more than 4 million records containing highly sensitive data, including school maps, student health records, safety drill reports, and court records. Shockingly, these documents were not password-protected, leaving them vulnerable to unauthorized access.
