Look who I ran into on the streets of Seville, Spain 🇪🇸 a few minutes ago:

RCOE and @CITE_EDU / CETPA friend & colleague @mwibben

@smacnab @RickSteves iPhone 13. As they say, the best camera is the one you have with you. 😊

@RickSteves Hi @RickSteves! We are in Madrid on one of your tours and LOVING getting to know Spain. We just arrived in Madrid!

A fun group in Spain enjoying happy travels!

@terrenceloftus Yes. I think this is the k12 equivalent of the large-scale Evite theft of clear text passwords. I have to imagine >60% our user passwords have been exposed because of reuse. My dark web monitoring peers have let me know the credentials are now for sale on the dark web. :(

[Terry Loftus @[email protected] @terrenceloftus]

Agreed. Immediate action is required. This is a bigger issue than most K-12 agencies realize.

[AprilMardock @aprilmardock]

If you are NOT an MFA district you need to take immediate action. The bad guys appear to have collected ALL schooldude username/password combinations. 65% of your users likely reuse passwords meaning 65% of your user passwords may have been compromised. https://t.co/8rbubC1NqH
