Important Message about Seesaw

Thu Sep 15 11:15am

Some of you may have found some disturbing images on your Seesaw account.  This seems to be a problem that is world wide.  Seesaw have sent us a message this morning. If this does not work for you or you are still having any problems please don’t hesitate to ask.


Message Below



Dear Seesaw customers,


We are writing to let you know about a distressing incident that occurred earlier today, the actions we are taking, and how seriously the entire Seesaw team takes this problem.


 


This morning, it was brought to our attention that a link to an inappropriate image was being shared via the Messages feature. This incident was led by an outside actor and occurred as a result of a coordinated attempt to guess user account passwords (sometimes known as a ‘credential stuffing’ attack). An isolated number of Seesaw user accounts were compromised and we’ve proactively notified these users and reset their passwords. 


We have taken immediate action to contain and address these issues. The safety and privacy of our teachers, students, and families is our number one priority and we are taking this extremely seriously. We turned OFF Messages temporarily for all users while we investigated and are enabling it again today after taking the following actions to ensure the security of accounts:


We removed the inappropriate message from accounts where it was sent and have coordinated with Bit.ly to ensure that the link to the image is no longer accessible.
We have proactively reset the passwords of any users who had their account compromised and these users were notified of their password reset.
We have taken measures to prevent additional accounts from being compromised.
Any user can always reset their password at: https://app.seesaw.me/#/reset_password
We are following up with impacted customers with more specific details about which accounts, if any, were compromised.
Our team continues to monitor the situation and we will continue to provide frequent updates and details on https://status.seesaw.me/. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
