Hack exposes data on millions of California students

A breach of a non-profit contractor to California's Department of Education exposed personal information on millions of students. The stolen data included names, addresses, demographic information, and disability status for all 7 million students enrolled in California public schools over a multi-year period.

Why it matters: California public school students and families face identity theft and fraud risks from exposed personal and demographic data; education officials and IT teams must investigate the non-profit's security posture and notify affected parties.
