PowerSchool begins notifying students and teachers after massive data breach
The edtech giant is notifying state attorneys general about the breach but won’t say how many individuals have been affected
PowerSchool said in a brief update on Monday that it had started the process of filing legally required regulatory notifications following the breach, which saw attackers use a stolen account credential to access the company’s customer support portal to exfiltrate huge quantities of sensitive student and teacher data. PowerSchool added that the organization will be providing updates to state attorneys general as its process progresses, suggesting the number of affected Maine residents may be higher than the 33,000 reported figure to date. In a statement to TechCrunch, CBE spokesperson Joanne Anderson said the board “does not have confirmation from PowerSchool about the number of students and staff impacted and the details of the data taken.”
