Summary
On this episode of the K12 Tech Talk podcast, Josh, Chris, and Mark interview Charlie Kratsch, CEO of Infinite Campus, about a confirmed cyber incident involving the company’s Salesforce instance. Charlie explains how attackers used a fast, professional vishing campaign and an imposter login domain to harvest credentials and bypass MFA, and then ran targeted reports through Salesforce. The data accessed was limited to support and customer‑directory information from the ticketing system, not the Infinite Campus student databases. Infinite Campus shut down access, audited the exports, engaged outside forensics and the FBI, and refused to engage with ransom demands. The episode outlines takeaways for districts: review support ticket content and third‑party connections, enforce MFA and stronger access controls, and limit plain text PII in tickets. Infinite Campus is contacting affected customers directly and completing a third‑party validation before issuing a final all‑clear. ———— Sponsored by: Meter - meter.com/k12techtalkVisit meter.com/k12techtalk to book a demo!
