Actually this is old new, and I know this data;“(An employee of Chicago Public Schools (Chicago Public Schools - CPS) was fired from his job after accidentally sending a mass email that included a link to confidential data located on a public CPS server in the Blackboard Learn system.
The email sent to the students' families contained a link to a spreadsheet file with the personal data of 3,700 students: names, email addresses, phone numbers and student numbers.
After the incident, the CPS staff considered that the file was an attachment to the letter, and asked the recipients to delete the file. Later, the CPS themselves deleted the file so that no one could download it, and also asked everyone who downloaded the data to delete it from their system. Again, we see the already familiar and proven way of ensuring data security for years, please upload the data back to the Internet.”

Solution:another case of a classic accidental leak, where there is initially no malicious intent. But there is stupidity and lack of accuracy in handling information. Data leak prevention tools (DLP) successfully cope with such leaks and do it in real time. Of course, in this case I am talking about a real DLP system that is capable of blocking data transmission, and not only investigating leaks that have already occurred.
