The Toronto District School Board announced that student records dating back to 1985 may have been compromised due to a breach at software provider PowerSchool. The breach has raised major concerns as personal information, including names, addresses, phone numbers, and health details, belonging to 240,000 students could be at risk. PowerSchool asserts that the stolen data has likely been deleted without being shared online. This incident highlights ongoing vulnerabilities in cloud-based systems used for managing student information.
PowerSchool reported that it received confirmation that the data acquired by the unauthorized user was deleted and that it was not posted online.
Whoever broke in would have been able to access data including names, genders, home addresses, phone numbers, and health card numbers.
