Oklahoma City, OK (January 10, 2025) – The law firm of Federman & Sherwood has initiated an investigation into PowerSchool with respect to their recent data breach. Education technology company PowerSchool, whose cloud-based software is used by thousands of school districts nationwide, is informing customers of a potential cybersecurity incident involving unauthorized access to certain PowerSchool student information system (SIS) customer data. According to a copy of an email sent to one of PowerSchool’s school district customers, an investigation revealed that the breach, which was discovered on December 28, 2024, involved a compromised credential allowing access to a customer support portal called PowerSource. BleepingComputer.com reported that the unauthorized party was able to use a PowerSource tool to access and download data pertaining to students and teachers, potentially including sensitive information. For students, information exposed in the PowerSchool data breach could include names, addresses, phone numbers, Social Security numbers, grades, bus stops, passwords, student IDs, parent information, medical information and more, BleepingComputer wrote. Teachers may have had names, addresses, phone numbers, Social Security numbers and passwords compromised in the breach, according to the publication.
