Palm Beach County School District

The Palm Beach County School District experienced a data breach.

An elementary school's second-grade student hacked the school district’s password system.

The hacking resulted in an emergency login change for “live” morning meetings in several elementary schools.

The attack questioned the authenticity of the school for every assignment completed by every student.

The hack potentially impacted the entire 176,000-student school district.

The hack potentially lets any student log into any other student’s Google Classroom account.
