In a concerning development, multiple school boards across Canada have disclosed that a significant data breach linked to PowerSchool may have compromised student data going back decades. Investigations are underway to assess the extent of the breach that was traced to a compromised technical support account. The data at risk includes sensitive personal details, medical information, and the social insurance numbers of staff, prompting school officials to work with PowerSchool to assess the breach's impact and encourage protective measures for families and schools.
"The breach has been described as potentially affecting student data going as far back as 1965, raising significant concerns over the privacy and security of personal information."
"Officials are working collaboratively with PowerSchool to investigate the depth of the breach, which compromised a back-end account used for technical support."
