Compensate Students and Staff $500 for University of Winnipeg Data Breach


Compensate Students and Staff $500 for University of Winnipeg Data Breach
The Issue
On average, the University of Winnipeg charges its students between $400-$5,000 per year in tuition fees. Fees that are used to fund services, like cyber security.
The university's negligence in its cyber security measures have resulted in thousands of students and staff sensitive personal information being stolen, like banking account information, social insurance numbers, and more.
The university's solution? You're on your own, but here's two free years of a credit monitoring service, for our mistake. That's it.
Sure, a credit monitoring service is helpful, but the absurd amount of fees students pay every single year to the university have gone to waste. Students and faculty members are stressed out, scared, and the university remains careless.
Not to mention that hackers who have accessed our information can still access and use it after our "2 years of credit monitoring" expires.
It's time for the university to be responsible for their negligence. We propose a minimum $500 payout to all students and staff affected.
Boycott the university of Winnipeg. Transfer your credits to another university that actually cares about your security.
