The Waterloo Region District School Board has begun removing some of its content created by former director jeewan chanicka from its online channels. On Tuesday, all the “DreamEd” podcast episodes had been removed from the school board’s YouTube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts channels. At least seven videos were taken down, including a series of interviews between chanicka and education sector workers discussing possible ways to “transform the education sector.” Seven videos of jeewan chanicka have been taken down by the Waterloo Region District School Board, including a series of interviews between chanicka and education sector workers discussing possible ways to “transform the education sector.” Parts of the videos and promos were still available on Instagram on Tuesday afternoon. The board also appeared to be in the process of removing other videos that included the director, such as the first video in the “Ask jeewan” series, where he responded to questions sent in from students. After a question was sent in from the Record about the removal of the videos, the “Ask jeewan” video was reposted on YouTube on Tuesday afternoon but was set as “unlisted.” Unlisted videos do not come up during search results or appear on channels, and can only be reached with a direct link to the video. The school board did not respond to questions about the removal of any of its content. Meanwhile, it was business as usual at the board meeting on Monday, with no mention of its recently departed director. The school board has yet to publicly address the departure of chanicka in any form; news broke on Thursday after an “All Staff Notice” email was distributed : “Please be advised that jeewan chanicka is no longer the Director of Education of the Waterloo Region District School Board. We thank him for his leadership and contributions and wish him all the best in future endeavours.” Multiple sources, provincially and within the board, confirmed his departure came after an “ ,” but the board has yet to give any insight on the nature of the investigation. The Ministry of Education has also steered clear from commenting on the situation, as internal human resource matters are handled by the board. On Monday, the board sent a public release announcing the appointment of Scott Miller as the interim director. Unlike the announcement sent internally to staff last Thursday, the public announcement did not mention chanicka’s departure. “We appreciate Scott Miller setting strategic leadership and managing the operations of the Waterloo Region District School Board,” board chair Maedith Radlein said in the release. “He has demonstrated a long standing commitment to working with students, staff, families and communities to foster academic achievement and well-being for all students to thrive.” The release said Miller will support the organization and its multi-year Strategic Plan. “Under Scott’s leadership WRDSB continues to be guided by the WRDSB North Star — To ensure that identity and social location no longer predict outcomes, together we will transform our systems, structures, physical environments and practices to address and embrace the lived experiences, abilities, needs and stories of all students and staff to ensure success for all.” Miller has been with the school board since 1995, serving in a variety of positions. He was appointed as associate director of business services in May. The board has not communicated whether Miller will move into the director’s role permanently, or if the board will begin a search for a new director. If it does decide to hire externally for the position, the processes tends to take months, with a third-party firm helping to find potential candidates, and the board of trustees ultimately making the final decision. When former school board director John Bryant retired in April 2021, consultation soon began with the Joan M. Green and Associates/Lough Barnes Consulting Group. Chanicka was officially hired as the new director in late June 2021, about three months after Bryant’s retirement announcement.

Parachinar faces “genocide and terrorism”On Dec. 4, U.S. intelligence officials and the FBI announced a hacking campaign affecting at least eight U.S. telecommunication firms, including Verizon and AT&T. In response, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), along with domestic and international partners, issued guidance for telecommunication companies to strengthen their security. Recommendations include implementing measures like end-to-end encryption to safeguard both company and customer data. Several news outlets reported that officials are advising against sending unencrypted text messages in the aftermath of the hack, so bad actors can’t read them. VERIFY readers Barbara and Joseph asked us if Chinese hackers can actually read people’s text messages. Here’s what we can VERIFY about protecting your text message privacy. THE QUESTION Can hackers intercept and read some types of text messages? THE SOURCES THE ANSWER Yes, hackers can intercept and read some types of text messages. But there are ways to protect them. Sign up for the VERIFY Fast Facts newsletter here . WHAT WE FOUND Messages sent between Apple and Android devices, as well as some types of messages sent between multiple Android devices, can be susceptible to hackers. But there is a type of protection that can ensure no hackers can read your texts. It’s called encryption. Encryption uses an algorithm to scramble information, like text messages, that can only be un-scrambled by the recipient’s device. This layer of protection ensures that even if hackers or scammers intercept your texts, they can’t access the content. When text messages aren’t encrypted, they travel across networks in plain text, making them vulnerable to interception, the SoCRadar and How-To Geek technology blogs explain. It’s like sending a letter without an envelope . Encrypted messages aren’t plain text. They’re transformed into what’s called ciphertext , which appears across a network as a scrambled, unreadable string of characters. Hackers can use tricks like creating fake cell towers or spying on public wireless networks to capture the messages. Without protection, text messages can be read and other personal information can be stolen. So, hypothetically, if a hacker is monitoring a network and you send a message in plain unprotected text that says, “Meet at my house at 123 Elm Street, the door will be unlocked.” That is the message a hacker can read, leaving you (and your home) vulnerable. But, if you send it as an encrypted message, a hacker would only see gibberish, like "Ff8g$%qLq9d@8z.” Your intended recipient, though, would receive the real message. Cellular providers don’t directly provide end-to-end encryption automatically, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) says , but the device manufacturers and independent messaging apps often do. Here’s how some devices work and tips to protect yourself. For Apple users : iMessages sent between Apple devices – the messages that appear in blue bubbles – are encrypted from end to end. However, messages sent from an Apple device to a non-Apple device – the messages that appear in green – are not encrypted. For Android users : For Android users using Google Messages , there is a feature known as Rich Communication Services. If that feature is turned on ( here’s how ) on both devices, the messages are encrypted. Cross-platform messaging and third-party applications: Text messages sent between Apple gadgets are encrypted, as are those exchanged between users of Google Messages, but text messages between Android and Apple devices are not encrypted, CISA says . That’s where third-party applications come in. Apps like WhatsApp , Signal and Telegram encrypt messages automatically and work between any device. WhatsApp describes their encryption technology like having a key that is exchanged between recipients. The technology locks (encrypts) a message before it leaves a device, turning it into a jumbled code. Only the recipient’s device has the unique "key" to unlock (decrypt) it and make it readable again. Stay secure with updates While the use of these technologies is important to understand, you should also keep your software updated, McAfee , a security company, says. These security updates for devices and applications patch vulnerabilities that hackers or scammers exploit. On an Android device, go to settings and click on software update. On an iPhone, go to settings, then general and then continue to software updates. For more tips on protecting yourself from scammers and hackers, visit VERIFY’s website .
