The California Office of the Attorney General reported on May 20, 2020, that the Santa Barbara Unified School District experienced a data breach involving the Aeries Student Information System. The breach potentially exposed student ID numbers, parent and student emails, physical addresses, and hashed passwords, although SBUnified was ultimately determined not to be impacted. Aeries notified affected districts about the breach on April 27, 2020, and subsequent investigations revealed they might have also been affected, prompting notification to potentially impacted individuals.
