UPDATE:
Earlier this month, Edge Imaging notified schools and school boards of a cyberattack on one of their 3rd party yearbook software providers, Entourage's Canadian “Creator Studio Pro" web platform.
They have now been advised that the Creator Studio Pro team, working through their cyber security expert advisors, have secured the return of all the Canadian photo files, along with the commitment of the threat actors that the photo files have been deleted, and were not distributed.
The team at Creator Studio Pro has engaged web monitoring services to help ensure the files do not appear on the internet, and has undertaken a series of rigorous security checks by 3rd party experts to help prevent further incidents.
An investigation has been opened by Entourage with authorities, and as a result, further information is not currently available. However, any material updates will be provided on their website at: https://edgeimaging.ca/cyber-incident/.
