Proctortrack Resuming Service Following Comprehensive Cybersecurity Audit to Address Recent Security Incident
No personally identifiable information was accessed in the attack, an independent cybersecurity firm concludes.
New York, NY (October 21, 2020) – Proctortrack by Verificient will resume its online test proctoring services following a comprehensive audit by an independent cybersecurity provider, which concluded that an unauthorized access into one of the company’s servers had been quickly contained and that customer data was not breached.
The audit was performed by an independent global cybersecurity provider, Network Intelligence. It determined that no personally identifiable information (PII) was accessed, no data was altered, no credit card account numbers were stolen, and no log-in credentials were compromised. The largest category of information accessed was a quality assurance testing server used for outdated developmental source code.
Following the discovery of the breach, on October 14, Verificient suspended Proctortrack to investigate and to protect customer data. Proctortrack will resume tomorrow, Thursday, October 22.
Rajnish Kumar, CEO of Verificient, said: “Fortunately, the audit confirmed that our existing security infrastructure limited the extent of the intrusion. As determined by the audit, the unauthorized individual was quickly isolated and removed from the company’s server. Verificient immediately fixed the configuration vulnerability that the individual exploited. Although we are relieved to be able to report that none of our customers’ private data was breached, I sincerely apologize for the understandable concern that this incident has caused. We are committed to taking further steps to ensure the security of the private data with which we are entrusted while limiting any future disruptions in service to our educational partners and student communities. We will be sharing details on these measures with our customers and valued partners.”
