Hackers have stolen an undisclosed number of student images, including roughly 160 from four schools in Calgary, following a data breach.

Kristen Gobeil alerted Global News after receiving an email from the Calgary Board of Education (CBE) on February 11, advising that her daughter’s school had been hit by the privacy breach.

“Pictures were stolen — of children,” Gobeil said incredulously.

The CBE’s email explained that Edge Imaging, a Canadian company that helps schools create yearbooks, informed it on Feb. 9 that its cloud storage service provider had experienced a cyber-security breach, leading to unauthorized access to student images.

The CBE said it had been assured that no identifying information had been accessed, and Edge was taking the appropriate steps to find out what happened and how.

Gobeil reached out to Edge and said she was told the same thing.

“The initial email was, ‘We (Edge) take this very seriously. The FBI has been involved and we are reporting to the Canadian counterparts as well,'” Gobeil said she was informed.

Tomasia DaSilva reports.

It's estimated that China's 🇨🇳 cyber army for cyberspace missions is 100 times bigger than the size of Mexican cartels.

In the earlly 1980 bad guys would take a photo of a kid to present to a possible sale. On the side walk. Think people and wise up.

Top tip don’t keep any personal pictures on your computers. Keep them on back up hard drives and encrypt them if you can or just remember your memories
