PowerSchool data breach victims say hackers stole ‘all’ historical student and teacher data

Edtech giant PowerSchool had "all" student and teacher data accessed by hackers after the company's customer support portal was compromised using stolen credentials. 

The December 2024 breach allowed attackers to access extensive personal information stored in its student information systems, which serve over 60 million U.S. students. 

Affected school districts said the hackers obtained demographic details, Social Security numbers, grades, and even teacher login credentials, in some cases reaching back more than a decade. 

PowerSchool did not disclose how many schools were affected.
