Lower Merion School District says a data breach was caused by a computer glitch

Lower Merion School District disclosed that confidential documents placed in a password-protected section of Diligent’s BoardDocs were nonetheless publicly accessible, exposing attorney–client privileged memos, confidential employee data, and student-related information; the district learned of the issue on April 10 after a third party flagged it, and while the precise scope and duration remain unclear, reports suggest an apparent BoardDocs bug may be responsible, prompting Diligent to notify affected clients and the district to remove confidential materials from the platform.
