the understanding today is that you have
0:03
to assume that your information was
0:05
already leaked as the University of
0:06
winipeg wraps up its investigation
0:08
following a Cyber attack an expert says
0:11
it serves as a reminder for us all to
0:13
regularly check our accredit information
0:16
I would assume that the university has
0:18
you know proper cyber care rise ramik
0:22
kisun is heading into her third year
0:24
studying Criminal Justice at the
0:26
University of Winnipeg and was one of
0:28
several ufw community members notified
0:31
that they were likely part of a Cyber
0:34
attack that targeted the school I got
0:36
the um email from the University with
0:39
the free uh credit miring for 2 years
0:43
and so I have that option I was just
0:45
honestly kind of confused on how it
0:47
happened and really shocked that it
0:49
happened the University of Winnipeg
0:51
announced in March that they experienced
0:53
a Cyber attack where the school is
0:55
saying the investigation found that
0:56
students employees along with those
0:59
applying to study or work at the
1:00
University of Winnipeg were impacted
1:03
with exposed information possibly
1:05
including social insurance numbers
1:07
addresses data births gender academic
1:10
history and employment history hernon
1:14
poper with poper cyber security
1:16
recommends we all monitor our credit
1:18
history monthly as cyber attacks become
1:20
more frequent they are not targeting
1:22
universities they are targeting everyone
1:24
and it's just a matter of where they
1:26
find a vulnerability or where they find
1:29
someone that that they can uh actually
1:32
convince to give away information poer
1:34
also recommends either using random
1:36
characters or phrases for passwords and
1:39
to use two Factor authentication to
1:41
protect yourself your password it's
1:43
quite possible out there already so two
1:45
Factor authentication which is the way
1:47
to verify that you are the one who's
1:49
trying to access the account for ramik
1:51
kisun she's taking the situation in
1:53
stride things happen and there's nothing
1:56
I could do about it in Winnipeg Edward
