Just look at PowerSchool, the mighty education technology giant, which saw the records of countless young scholars and learned instructors snatched right from under their noses!Ye see, these cyber ruffians breached the PowerSource portal, pilferin’ sensitive information from millions—a veritable treasure trove of names and addresses, and even some Social Security numbers fer the unlucky few! PowerSchool, like a ship in a storm, was slow to sound the alarm; it took ’em nearly two weeks to warn their loyal crew. Talk about taking the wind outta yer sails!
While they claim no ransom was demanded, and it wasn't a trick of faulty software, the breach surely left a sour taste in the mouths of many. They be offerin’ free credit monitoring to those affected, but one must wonder if that be enough to fend off further pirate attacks.
