Cincinnati Public Schools

Cincinnati Public Schools inadvertently released busing information, such as students' names and their pickup and drop-off locations, to the wrong recipients.

The district planned to disseminate about 7,000 students' information as a reminder to families as the first day of school approaches. But the district's internal email system sent an unknown number of those students' info to the wrong families.

The glitch was caused by a bug introduced during an update of the system, but the release was not a data dump or breach.

Each email included a student's first and last name, bus number, bus route, pickup, and drop-off location, and possibly the time of pickup and drop-off.
