It's so far unclear how many North Carolina teachers and students will end up receiving a notice, and the extent of the data accessed is also unclear

Student and faculty names, birthdates, contact information—and in some cases, medical data and Social Security Numbers—were compromised in the breach.

The edtech giant is notifying state attorneys general about the breach but won’t say how many individuals have been affected

Tens of thousands of current and former students, teachers and school staff had their personal data compromised in a cyberattack earlier this month.

The hacker who breached education tech giant PowerSchool claimed in an extortion demand that they stole the personal data of 62.4 million students and 9.5 million teachers.

A new report from Bleeping Computer suggests the hacker infiltrated the entire PowerSchool userbase, but PowerSchool declined to confirm or deny the numbers to PCMag.

Bleeping Computer on Wednesday also reported that an extortion note the attacker sent to PowerSchool claimed that the personal data of 62.4 million students and 9.5 million teachers was swept up in the breach. PowerSchool said it’s offering two years of free credit monitoring to all those affected.

If you're a student or teacher — or were one in the past few decades — you may soon be getting a head's up that your personal information was accessed as part of the widespread PowerSchool cyber breach that recently hit Canadian school boards.

Data belonging to hundreds of thousands of Newfoundland and Labrador students was breached in a cyberattack targeting an information system used by schools across the country.
