From a school system email:
PowerSchool has informed us that they have taken action with the hackers to ensure the unauthorized data was deleted without any further replication or dissemination. They do not anticipate any of the data being shared or made public and are working with cybersecurity experts and law enforcement to ensure ongoing data safety. PowerSchool indicated they will be providing credit monitoring to affected adults and identity protection services to affected minors in accordance with regulatory obligations.
I’m upset about this but I’m way more upset to be finding out about it from Lemmy instead of from my school district or PowerSchool directly. My Pennsylvnaia school district hasn’t said anything about this.
yeah my district hasn’t sent anything out at all…
I read about it yesterday morning and my school district sent out an email The same evening. I believe had it not been published they would have stayed quiet.
Just got the email a couple hours ago, our district has been shut down all week though.
