A cyberattack on PowerSchool, a leading education software platform, resulted in the exfiltration of personal data of 62 million students and 9 million teachers. Despite paying the ransom, the data was not wiped, and hackers are now targeting individual schools using the stolen information. The breach affected over 6,500 school districts in the US and Canada. The exfiltrated data includes Social Security Numbers, names, addresses, and medical information. PowerSchool has offered free credit monitoring and identity theft protection to mitigate risks.
