Description
Hillsborough County Public Schools sent out notifications to 254 families on Friday that someone may have accessed the personal data of some of its students in a data breach.
An e-mail from the schools' chief of communications said the data may have included a student's name, date of birth, student ID and state ID number, which could correspond to the student's social security number. The data may also have included information about visits to the school nurse's office during the 2021-2022 school year.
HCPS is currently reviewing the files that were potentially accessed in the breach and its officials are cooperating with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. They say they will offer free identity protection services for any student, as long as their parents enroll them into the services by Jan. 21, 2024.
