NYC Department of Education

New York City’s Department of Education accidentally sent an email that exposed 439 paraprofessionals' information.

The Department of Education exposed exactly 439 names, first, last names, and Social Security numbers.

They took immediate steps and offered identity theft protection.

DOE revived its policies to ensure this does not happen again.
