Student data breach impacts up to 16 Icelandic schools

A security breach has affected Inna, the student information system utilized by upper-secondary schools in Iceland. DataBreaches.net and Iceland Review both report that the security incident affected up to 16 Icelandic schools. The vulnerability allowed a student to attempt to alter the grades and attendance records of other pupils. [1][5]

The incident involved unauthorized access within the central management system used to track student performance and records. DataBreaches.net reported that the breach enabled a user to try modifying records beyond their own authorized access levels. [1]

As FTMQ Security reported earlier, educational systems in the region have faced significant security challenges. The University of Copenhagen previously suffered a network breach in a test environment that exposed the personal data of 525,000 individuals, including PIN codes for 20,000 staff and students. [8]
