Investigation into hacking of student records at Queen’s College

An elite school in Hong Kong is investigating a hacking incident that affected student records. The incident was reported at Queen’s College, located in Causeway Bay. The Education Bureau confirmed the breach on Sunday. They said the school is managing the situation and has informed all necessary parties. A spokesman emphasized that the school should follow the proper guidelines during the investigation. On Saturday, Queen’s College sent an internal email to teachers, students, and parents. The email focused on a security issue where an unauthorized person accessed a student’s eClass account. This person changed the student’s violation records, leading to confusion over disciplinary actions. The school expressed deep concern about the breach. Their information and technology department is currently conducting a thorough investigation to determine which records were affected. They also plan to implement new security measures to prevent future incidents. The eClass platform is widely used, with over 800 institutions relying on it for various school management tasks.
