SACRAMENTO, CA – On December 28, 2024, PowerSchool, a prominent provider of educational technology services to over 60 million K-12 students worldwide, identified a cybersecurity incident involving unauthorized access to its Student Information System (SIS) through the PowerSource customer support portal.

The breach, which occurred between December 19 and December 24, 2024, allowed threat actors to exfiltrate sensitive data, including names, addresses, dates of birth, limited medical information, and, in certain cases, Social Security numbers (SSNs) of students and educators.

Layoffs, offshoring, subcontractors, & TWO security incidents? #PowerSchool really needs to get their act together. #Students deserve to have their data protected by diligent professionals, not by #privateequity solely concerned with lining their pockets.https://t.co/KGopugenHr pic.twitter.com/gCRKQ4I2ux

Upon discovery, PowerSchool promptly engaged cybersecurity experts and notified law enforcement agencies to investigate the incident. The company has since implemented enhanced security measures to prevent future occurrences and is offering two years of complimentary identity protection services to all affected individuals, including credit monitoring for adult students and educators.

While PowerSchool has stated that the incident is contained and does not anticipate the compromised data being shared or made public, the full scope of the breach is still under investigation. Educational institutions utilizing PowerSchool’s SIS are advised to inform their communities and encourage vigilance in monitoring personal accounts for any unusual activity.
