And on page 65 of this thread, this statement sums it all up neatly. You can hand wave all you want (and that's been done REPEATEDLY over the past 65 pages) but this still holds true.

Exactly. 65 pages of back and forth. If you can find an attorney who will take your case, do it. What I’m seeing is a lot of people who I suspect already contacted an attorney and were told they don’t have a case who keep coming back here and “hand waving” hoping they can get some satisfaction for their misplaced anger.

People can be angry at multiple things.

FCPS? Of course.

Callie? She is 100% responsible for her own actions. Anger towards her is not misplaced.

It’s misplaced because nobody’s mad at the dozens of other parents who sifted through all the data that wasn’t about their kid to find the data about their kid and is likely sitting in an insecure manner on a desktop or server because they don’t have a defined disposal process or a strong security protocol because they are a person and not an organization, unlike Callie, who is a 501c3 and has a destruction protocol. I’m more upset that it’s sitting insecure on many people’s personal computers where one click on a malware link can put everything for sale on the dark web.

Let's look at the facts that we do know. This parent downloaded confidential information about other special needs children to her files. The parent went beyond looking at communication and information about her own child. The parent published this confidential information on the world wide web. The parent is accountable for this action. They knew the information was confidential and that FCPS made a mistake. Yet, the parent chose to access the information, save it to their file and then share it. I hope there are consequences.

Did they have thousands of records? Did they give to other people/organizations? Did they publish it?

No.

She’s responsible for her actions.

We don’t know. You don’t know. You’re assuming.

My auto reply from the "privacy" email address said they would reply within five days. They did not. Has anyone received a reply from this email address?

The parent who made the deliberate decision to post private information on the internet about other students is sharing information that they should not have. And that person knew better. They are hurting students with disabilities and their families - intentionally. The person needs to accept responsibilities for their irresponsible and hurtful actions.

They won't even assign a staff member to answer the phone or respond to inquiries. They won't tell parents what info on their kid was given away (when they know).

I am certain they don’t reach out to parents when they send their child’s IEP to a different family. I reached out to a family when I got their child’s highly confidential information and they never heard from FCPS about it

Exactly. Dozens of people have come forward saying the same thing happened to them. One reported they got info on Callie’s child. It was never reported because it was swept under the rug. Just because it didn’t end up with Goldwater doesn’t mean it’s securely stored. One click on a bad link, it’s on the dark web for sale.

I'm actually surprised no one in the FCPS staff has considered selling it on the dark web.

FWIW, when I wrote back to complain that no one had replied to my email within the promised 5 business days, I got another auto-response saying they would reply within 12 business days🙄🙄🤔

No reply.
I asked the experian temp if I could request a call back and she said it wasn't in her script.

What do you think would be interesting to people on the "dark web"? So curious about this.

Could you possibly be any more irrationally dramatic? For sale on the dark web? Let me guess, you believe young blonde children are being stolen every week away from their suburban homes and trafficked.

Dramatic? Data like this is so prevalent it sells for less than a dollar on the dark web. $8 for a full child’s identify. We’re not living in the 80s anymore. Google child fullz.

All that data at once would be incredibly valuable. You could ask FCPS to pay a ransom

If you get enough pii, you can open up credit cards, use it to get health care and run up bills. Yes, ssn is the most valuable, but enough pieces can help uncover the ssn. The bad thing is anything used for malicious purposes could go unnoticed for years…when the child is applying for a car loan or credit card, and you discover their credit score is 300 with 18 defaults. Good luck repairing it them. Freeze your child’s ssn!
