Florida Virtual Campus

More than 50,000 Leon County Schools students and teachers have had their sensitive information compromised in a major data breach involving Florida Virtual School.

Superintendent Rocky Hanna blasted Florida Virtual School for its failure to secure the data and its handling of the breach and said Florida Virtual School left its server wide open for intruders to access.

Florida Virtual School acknowledged the breach and stated more than 350,000 students, teachers and parents could be affected.

The school contacted the district, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, and the FBI after learning of the breach.

The Florida Virtual School is offering a year of free credit reporting to potentially impacted students.
