Central Okanagan school district shuts down Gmail access following security breach

Central Okanagan Public Schools has temporarily suspended Gmail access for all students and staff following a breach involving several district email accounts.

The district says four accounts were compromised and used to send a phishing email to students and staff.

The message included a link to an online form requesting personal information from people interested in applying for a job opportunity.

The district says the personal information that may have been exposed includes users’ usual first and last names, along with their district Gmail addresses.
