Many Islanders are concerned about the recent PowerSchool breach, especially when it comes to privacy issues around their children, says the P.E.I. Home and School Federation.

ANN ARBOR, MI – No active student Social Security numbers were compromised after hackers breached K-12 software, according to Ann Arbor Public Schools.

Student and faculty names, birthdates, contact information—and in some cases, medical data and Social Security Numbers—were compromised in the breach.

Bleeping Computer on Wednesday also reported that an extortion note the attacker sent to PowerSchool claimed that the personal data of 62.4 million students and 9.5 million teachers was swept up in the breach. PowerSchool said it’s offering two years of free credit monitoring to all those affected.

Education software giant PowerSchool has started notifying individuals in the U.S. and Canada whose personal data was exposed in a late December 2024 cyberattack.

Some people are still feeling the effects of the data breach that hit schools across the state in January. “So this is not a breach on our level whatsoever, you’re considered a victim in this,” Chief Technology Officer with Beaufort County Schools Amber Godfrey said.
