What is the Los Angeles Public Schools Data Breach Investigation About?

Earlier this month, Los Angeles Unified School District notified individuals whose personal data was exposed in an outside breach to their network. The district's computer network was breached by a hacker group who stole student assessments, employee driver's license numbers, Social Security numbers, students' medical records and students' mental health records. Some of these data are considered sensitive or perosnally identifiable information, which can create inordinate problems for those whose information has been stolen and used advantageously by hackers or other malicious actors.

Data breaches are serious matters that can cause long term damage. Hackers break into networks so that they can steal your personal information to sell it on the dark web, commit identity theft, financial theft or other frauds.
