What happened?
Hackers gained access to personal data stored in PowerSchool’s Student Information System (SIS) through compromised credentials, stealing and exporting the critically sensitive data. The hackers followed the attack with an extortion note suggesting that the data of 62.4 million students and 9.5 million teachers was compromised.
Why are lawsuits being filed?
Student and teachers have a reasonable expectation that their personal information is safe when in the hands of corporate custodians, and that every possible step should be taken to secure that information. Corporations like PowerSchool that fail to safeguard personal information need to be held accountable, and Keller Rohrback seeks to help victims of the data breach do that.
