RPS data breach: Former students at risk after dark web leak

Former Richmond Public Schools students could be caught up in last month's cybersecurity attack, after the district confirmed personal information was posted on the dark web. Why it matters: Once exposed, sensitive data can be shared or sold to criminals, putting victims at risk of identity theft and fraud . RPS didn't immediately respond to Axios' questions about how many people were affected, how far back the compromised records date, or whether hackers demanded a ransom. The latest: RPS is expanding free identity monitoring to former students and employees after hackers claimed to have accessed their personal information, too — and not just that of current students, staff and contractors. The district said Wednesday affected systems contained Social Security numbers, addresses, driver's license numbers, health insurance details and other medical information. But it hasn't confirmed which records were exposed.

Revisiting Dump Now, Pay Later: Inadequate Financial Assurance at the Shoosmith Landfill

Years ago, Bill Kovacs, then Vice President of the Chamber of Commerce, several state regulators, and I helped launch an initiative called "Clean States." Although the program never fully got off the ground, its core vision remains compelling: demonstrating that environmental stewardship and economic growth can go hand in hand when businesses profit from pollution prevention. The same principle applies to healthcare: by proactively addressing root causes, we can prevent larger, more costly problems down the line. Let us learn from the past so we do not repeat the same mistakes.
