Feel there is really no way to prevent this. This was doubtfully uploaded knowingly (or possibly with ignorance). Data dumps occur all the time. As a file, they can too easily be shared. For sure, the school should work on increasing their awareness of handling secure data. But, in the end, nothing would really prevent this from happing again.

I'm completely ignorant here, but how do you do that without this? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11042353

Hoping to learn something, honest question.

I'm imagining IT has proviosned certificates on the computers under their control that allows them to do a MITM attack on either blacklisted sites, or non-white listed sites.
