The Ministry of Education Chareidi Division instructed teachers from dozens of schools in the chareidi sector to fill out personal information online via Google. It was later learned that due to a security failure, anyone with a link to the forms being filled out has access to the personal information contained in the forms.

The teachers who completed the forms began receiving telephone calls congratulating them on joining the program and after receiving numerous calls, some began checking and this is when they learned their personal information was accessible to anyone with the link.

The information available included the teachers’ ID numbers, names and other personal information.

It is pointed out that despite the objections from Gedolei Yisrael Shlita, over 130 chareidi schools have joined the ministry’s new Chareidi Division in the hope of enjoying benefits from the state ministry.
