Texas School Safety Software Data Leak Endangers Student Safety

Raptor Technologies suffered a misconfigured database exposure discovered by researcher Jeremiah Fowler that leaked roughly 4,024,001 records — including student and staff PII, health records, court documents, school maps, camera locations, and incident response plans — potentially affecting a large portion of U.S. schools; the company has since secured the database but the duration and any malicious access are undetermined, prompting recommendations for stricter access controls, encryption, and regular security assessments.
