MAINE – The Maine Attorney General’s Office says more than 33,000 people living in the state were affected by the PowerSchool data breach.
An attorney filed the notification on behalf of PowerSchool, a software company that makes products used by thousands of schools across the country.
Several school districts in Maine use PowerSchool’s software.
The data breach notification indicates PowerSchool’s external system was hacked on December 19th, and the company became aware of the cybersecurity incident nine days later.
A copy of a message that will be sent from PowerSchool to affected Maine residents indicates hackers had access to students’ and teachers’ names, contact information, birthdays, Social Security numbers, limited medical alert information, and other related information.
