PowerSchool data breach victims say hackers stole ‘all’ historical student and teacher data


A trove of information on current and former students and teachers was accessed during the December cyberattack, sources say

However, two sources at affected school districts — who asked not to be named — told TechCrunch that the hackers accessed troves of personal data belonging to both current and former students and teachers. When reached by TechCrunch, PowerSchool spokesperson Beth Keebler did not dispute the customers’ accounts but declined to discuss its security controls, citing company policy. “While our data review remains ongoing, we expect the majority of involved customers did not have Social Security numbers or medical information exfiltrated,” Keebler told TechCrunch in a statement on Tuesday.
