A cyberattack on PowerSchool has compromised personal data of millions of students and teachers across the U.S. The breach occurred in December 2024 when stolen credentials were used to access the company's customer support portal. The stolen information includes names, addresses, Social Security numbers, and medical data. PowerSchool has not disclosed how many school districts were affected and notified them over two weeks after the incident. PowerSchool is collaborating with the FBI and a cybersecurity firm to investigate the breach. The company claims to have taken steps to prevent further data exposure but has not detailed these measures.
