8e6 Helps Locate Student Responsible for Teacher Death Threat
In late May, a high school teacher from the San Diego City School District (CA), which serves about 136,000 students, received an anonymous death threat from a student via his school e-mail account. Fortunately, district network and security personnel were able to prevent a potentially fatal incident, using the data provided by 8e6 Technologies’ (www.8e6.com) Enterprise Reporter, a stand-alone appliance that reports on Web usage without compromising filtering speed/performance or any other server/network functions. With the information from Enterprise Reporter, administrators worked with police to isolate the computer used to e-mail the threat, find the student who had checked it out, and successfully apprehend the suspected student.
