Hi everyone,

So I've been doing some digging around to work out this exam issue and I came across a very recent patch note from Talview in regards to the Proview plugins.

My biggest concern is that the plug in Sentry Telemetry has been turned on by default this whole time so all your browser activities have been monitored since your last exam....

There are other massive issues such as people being able to bypass the password to gain access to exams etc, recording sessions being made available to all reviewers.

This is pretty terrible.

I feel like the comms is pretty lacking considering all our personal information is now at risk.

Good work, waiting for La Trobe to come out and say this is what's happened.

I also hope there will be transparency about who's data has been comprimised.
