Visalia Unified School District

Tulare County’s largest school district Visalia Unified School District suffered a data breach incident in the first week of June.

The district-issued official email accounts were illegally accessed by the attackers which compromised the name and medical information of the email account holder.

VUSD implemented additional technical security measures and secured its systems against any such breach incident in the future.
