Security breach at Florida school district exposed personal identifying info of more than 250 students

A Florida school district that suffered a cybersecurity breach earlier this month that exposed the personal information of more than 250 students revealed that the information may have included State IDs.

Hillsborough County Public Schools had a forensic review conducted which determined that an administrative file from the 2021-2022 academic year containing information on 254 students was accessed without authorization.

The review concluded that the information may have included a student's name, date of birth, district student ID and State ID, which could correspond to the student's social security number and school nurse visit information from that school year.
