Online proctor service ProctorTrack hacked
- identity0 6y agoI know hacks get posted too often to HN, but this is a particularly egregrious example. Proctortrack is an online proctoring software which school force the students to download and use. It collects, from their own privacy policy: * Name and Address * Zip Code * Photograph of identity document, such as a driver’s license * Photograph of you (Note: it needs a scan of your face from three angles.) * Telephone Number * Usernames and Passwords * Name of the Test Sponsor(s) * Employment information * E-mail address * Test submissions * Screen-captures * Audio and video recordings of you taking tests and the test-room environment * Biometric data, including biometric identifiers (such as scans of hand or knuckles) and biometric information (such as knuckle, face, or keystroke patterns) * Government-issued identification number (if required, or as included in the identity document you provide) Why does it need all this information? This is yet another example of a shitty company "forgetting" to pay for security and the consumers (who don't even have a choice to not use the software) have to pay.
